Central locking

Post by marionw » Thu Jun 01, 2023 11:11 am

Hi all,
I’m after some help.
When I press my fob to lock doors only the drivers door is locking.
All other doors stay open.
Any ideas why?

Marion,

Your fob might have a low battery and will need recoding. Try this. (It's from the "Keys" factsheet)

If you change the battery in the remote central locking fob, you'll need this procedure to re-code the fob.
You can also use this for coding spare or new fobs.

1. All doors closed, but unlocked.
2. Open drivers door, leave it open.
3. Put key in ignition, and turn it between ON and LOCK 3 times.
4. Remove key from ignition.
5. Press the drivers door switch 3 times (the switch that operates the courtesy light).
6. The doors should lock and unlock.
7. Press any button on the remote twice.
8. The doors should lock then unlock again.

It won't be the fob at all, that is independent of the Central Locking, as its Remote Locking!

The central locking is controlled by a switch built into the drivers door and signals back to a module in the passenger foot rest area. Most common problem is broken wires in the drivers door loom where the loom crosses over on the lower hinge after 20 years or so the wires break inside, there are repair kits available on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/bespokeautoe ... ervices_uk
