2002 G500 Weird problem

Hello everybody,

When my 2002 G500 is parked for the night, in the morning the doors won't open with the button on the key. When I open manually, I can start and everything works fine (also open and close with the key button). After a couple of hours of parking, I have the same problem again.

When parked for about 2-3 days, she won't start at all. When I take the negative cable from the battery off, and put it back on, everything works fine.

So, I leave now my door open and the negative cable loose during the night, in the morning I put the cable on and I can start.

I have been searching here on the forum for the same problem, and I always find something about the Kiekert relay. But this relay I can't find in the car. Not behind the glove box, not under the hood. The other relays and fuses behind and under the glove box are checked.

I don't know what to do. I can take the car to the local dealer, but that's going to cost a lot I think.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Kind regards, Wim

RE: 2002 G500 Weird problem

Welcome to our forum.

Please complete your My Profile to show the year and model of your G, as well as where you're located. That info helps us to better get to know and to help you.

Your problem description is a new one to me. How old is your battery?

Do a search here for the relay. It should produce and answer to where it's located. A Google produced this link.

The 2002 and later G's do not use a Kiekert relay for the door locks. The electronics in the later trucks are very sensitive to battery voltage, so you may want to do some testing on the battery, especially if it's older.
