No central locking
« on: 01 September 2006, 19:26:17 »
Hello
My central locking has just died completely. Neither the remote or using the key works the locks althought the lights flash when they are supposed to. I can only lock the car manually, ie all the passenger doors by pushing down the buttons and then the drivers door with the key.
I presume there is a fused circuit between the infra red receiver and whatever it is that controls the servo motors on the locks but I can't find any blown fuses. Has anyone any thoughts on this please?

tks

Mark

thanks...I should have said that I'm sure it's not the plipper or battery as it happened suddenly one day.... I opened the car as usual, drove a few miles and then couldn't lock it again remotely or centrally. Same thing with the spare plipper/battery.

Soz, just read your original post properly  :-[ - IR receiver = early car.

I bet your heated seats aren't working? If this is the case, check Fuse 20 ;)

Isn't fuse 20 for rear heaters?  14 for fronts?

I got it wrong initially, but then realised it was an early car (IR remote)...

Many thanks to The Boy - it was fuse 20 so all is now well. I should have found it before but as I was holiday in France at the time I must have been suffering from too much of the wine and Ricard...
Cheers

....update

....all was well for three days and now fuse 20 has popped again.  :(

As it's a 20 Amp there is clearly a lot of current flowing somewhere it shouldn't
.
Before I start taking the covers off the doors do you know where in the loom the wiring from all the door servos comes together - and is that easy to get at? ....or do you think the problem is more likely to be with the heated seats?

thanks

I'd say heated seats.  Sometimes the wiring under the seat gets damaged, so check that (be careful of seatbelt pretensioners though...)
