Central Locking

Post by leach62 »

Hi All

I have a bit of a problem. My central locking seems to have stopped working. Parked up and locked it with the key yesterday, came back from the shops and tried to unlock it and nothing so used the key. Thought it might be the battery but have tried the other key and I get the same. I am still able to turn on the light and set the alarm just not unlock the doors. Does anybody have any ideas?

Regards Jim

First guess would be the boot lid wiring loom (aka the loom of doom). There are separate lock and unlock wires and I am guessing the unlock one has broken or shorted.

Cheers R.
