Default Central locking problem

I have a central locking remote (pre-smartlock) for my EB, and normally when you press the button, it'll lock/unlock the doors, and activate the immobiliser/alarm.

Anyhoo, tonight, when I press the button, only the immob/alarm works! The central locking works fine if I actually use the key in the lock, but it doesn't seem to work with the remote button anymore.

I fitted my EBII climate control module just before as well, so I suspect I may have disturbed some wires behind it when stuffing it back in the cavity.

Could anyone give me some tips regarding this problem? Thanks

Problem "fixed", after driving to uni, it decided to work :-/

No idea what's goin on here, there must be a dodgy connection somewhere that had gotten loose & needed a drive to make the connection work again (bump/vibration?)

That's an E-series for you! I had 4 interior lights that didn't work. When I went to take out the globes, each of them decided to work! E-series are great at that.

hmmmm, I have central locking for me EA (pre smartlock, obviously)...however it only locks/unlocks the front 2 doors...is there any way to "modify" it so it works with the rear doors too?

it may well have been set-up that way selekta.

you will need to remove the doortrims on the rear doors to see if they have any actuators installed.

lol actually it's "come back" again. Seems that whenever the car is sitting for a while, the doors won't unlock/lock when the remote is used. But if I've just driven the car, both locking AND unlocking work!

As ya said Dezza, must be an E-Series thing!

lol nah I can live with it ;)

After all, I have come up with a theory which involves a highly complicated formula:

Mod your car = your car becomes dodgy :Reverend:
