Central Locking

Post by spookmaria » Mon Jan 12, 2015 7:53 pm

Hi Folks, again another newbie post!! I am wondering if our bongo might have central locking that just is not working, it just seems odd that there are so many features on it (electric windows and mirrors etc.) but there is not central locking on it. There is a fuse there (which is not blown) so i'm assuming it feeds other things. Help for an idiot gratefully received. It is an P reg and VIN is SGL5-11etc.
Thanks Robin and Maria

They mostly have manual central locking from the driver's door - not all have remote central locking :(

Fuse 4 (30a) just does the central locking. If changing that doesnt help, you could remove the drivers door panel and have to look to see that the switch mechanism is there and functioning.

Most likely, as said, where the loom passes from the A pillar into the driver's door. Pretty simple DIY fix or looms are available. At a price.
Take a torch, toilet roll, and tea bags.
