Hi, Can anyone help with a messed up central locking system? On my 9000 turbo the alarm is connected to the central locking by means of a remote key fob, which on activation sets the alarm, immobiliser and activates the central locking system. Something has happened to the system and upon activation/deactivation the light (for the alarm) on the dash board goes on and off but the alarm is not really being switched on or off and the central locking system does not repond at all. I have replaced the central locking/interior light fuse (fuse 16(15A)) which had blown, and I have reset the alarm system and replaced the battery in the key fob. The Haynes manual, says to check the fuses and relay associated with the system. The problem with this is that I cannot find the relay for the central locking system and the electrical wiring diagram in the Haynes manual does not even mention this relay. My question: Does it have a relay in the circuit, and if so where is it??? A friend of mine has proposed that my car battery may not be good enough to activate the locking system. Also, as I have been locking the doors manually, I have noticed that the offside passengers door lock seems to be very stiff in relation to the other doors. Could this be a central locking motor fault? also if this was the case would it stop all the doors locking rather than just the 'dodgy' one? Or could it be a fault with the alarm itself? All suggestions greatly received. thanks Brett Thanks to everyone who has provided suggestions. Still need more help though ! :(
