FOB Won't lock/unlock after battery disconnect

[MaceWilliams]

Next week I take possession of a 1994 RR Classic.

The current owner disconnected the battery momentarily to conduct some maintenance, and now the FOB won't lock/unlock the doors.

Engine starts and runs fine.
Radio code was reset.
Power windows/sunroof works fine.
Manual locking/unlocking driver's side seems to be a bit of an issue due to old mechanism and slightly bent key, so the vehicle currently remains unlocked.

I did observe a slow blinking red LED on the console near the radio.

I would like to address this issue as soon as possible so that I can safely lock the vehicle up at night, and still be able to get back into it the next morning.



Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Borrowed from Discoweb:
Programming for 94, 95 models (one-button models).

1. Starting conditions: ignition off, doors unlocked, hood switch depressed.
2. Carry out instructions 3. to 9. within 8 seconds.
3. Switch ignition ON.
4. Switch ignition OFF.
5. Lock doors.
6. Unlock doors.
7. Release hood switch.
8. Switch ignition ON.
9. Switch ignition OFF. If alarm is correctly accessed, horn will sound and LED will light. It is now possible to program two handsets of correct frequency to vehicle alarm ECU. This must be carried out within two minutes.
10. Press and hold down button on first handset until dash LED flashes.
11. Repeat instruction 10. for second handset.
12. The LED will extinguish if both handsets have been programmed correctly.
