Her 1993 van was used when she bout it, and is now beginning to show it's age. She recently had an airbag burst while at my house visiting, and as we were taking it in for repair...the lift control at the back of the van began short circuiting. This started a cascading effect on all things electrical in the car. I guess some time last week, she had to take the van & chair in because the repairshop said the "Release" botton in the user interface needed replacing or rewiring. Everything worked fine, until yesterday when I was visiting her...I went to load her in the van, and the EZ Lock won't engage. Has anyone run into this problem?? They don't come with user manuals or installation guides...and it seems stupid to have to take the thing back in (45 miles away) if it's a button to push. BUT, it looks like the "catch" mechanism is in the lock position - and the manual release lever is stuck in the "release" position. Yet, upon close inspection nothing is jammed, stuck in, or bent on the physical device. On the user interface, alarms when the car starts but when turned off...blinks red and says disabled. Release button does nothing. Turn the alarm on and the yellow light is on and the thing squeels. Help! Anyone know what to do from here??
