Central locking but a weird twist

Post by Neortic »

Central locking plays up. Symptom is - remote attempts to lock but one door is not working. Thats ok will lock by key for now, hold key for a moment in lock position all doors lock. Drivers door at fault, check wiring between door and body, broken wire, youv'e all heard of this. Ok repair the one wire (grey) and..... Nothingat all. No attempt made at central locking via remote or key. Now have to lock doors manually. Also boot opens via button but does not lock via key or driving car. No immobiliser. Did find 2 broken wires on passenger door, but repairing no difference. All other features work. Any ideas, fixed wire made it worse!!!!
