Central locking not working after waxoyl any ideas?

Post by Asda Bongo » Tue Oct 13, 2009 6:10 pm

I have just had the local garage waxoyl my car and now the central locking doesn't work. I have got the windows working again, but where is the control for the central locking. I can't face going back there, they tried to pull a fast one before by not waxoyling the cills and inside the doors so I had to take it back. They still managed to miss the rear part of the cill on the Passanger side. But I will try and do that with a spray can if I can get the central locking working again. I can't face going back again. It was an hour and a half wait today before they told me they had just managed to warm the waxoyl up.
Hopefully it is just that they have knocked a connection as happened with the drivers door passanger window control.

None of the doors work when I turn the key in the drivers door or with the key fob. So in effect the central locking is not working.

My guess would be that they've either put so much waxoyl in the driver's door that its clogged up the actuator or that they have used the grommet where the wires go into the door to get the waxoyl in and damaged the already brittle wiring in there.
You definitely need to be looking at the drivers door
