Central Locking Relay ?

[David Lee]

Does the Bongo have a relay that controls the central locking ? if so can anyone tell me where it is ?

thanks

there must be one but where I do not know, why do you ask?
Is yours broke?

I installed a zapper to my ducato this weekend and to find out where the CL controle unit was we listend for the click when it was activated.

If its to install a zapper, most install a slave acuator to the drivers door and wire the zapper to that.

Just in case Dave, if it has stopped working it is going to be the wires from the body into the drivers door, very thin and fail so often, like mine did and took some finding one wire at a time. Good luck.

Its the grey block in the pic, its behind the glove box.

Its working fine and I have installed another actuator to lock the drivers door. I want to connect the central locking so that it locks when I set/unset the car alarm (500mA switching output).

I thought the easiest way to do it and retain manual operation was sticking a relay on the end of the wire and simulating turning of the drivers door key, connect that to the wires that go to the central locking system.

From there I would run two wires from the passenger actuator wire to the drivers door actuator.

If anyone has any comments or better/alternative suggestions would be really interested to hear.

The common solution is a solonoid bolted into the drivers door that simply drives the lock up and down, activated from the alarm central locking output.
The solenoid just mimics someone locking and unlocking the driver door from the inside and in turn will drive the central locking.
