u13turbo Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Hey guys, my central locking packed a sad, it was locking and not unlocking, now it wont do either...... Kinda bad as even if i manually lock doors, the boot is still unlocked. And whats worse is a key is stuck in the ignition(If anyone knows how to fix this it would be a great help too). Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I cannot help you much with the electrics except suggest you start fault finding, start from the door lock itself. As for the stuck key? Dunno, maybe a visit to a locksmith? The boot will manually lock with a key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Pete, yeah i wll have to start fault finding, thought i would just check first to make sure there isnt a common fault point. And yeah, the key hasnt bothered me much, except it would be an easy steal for someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverton Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 With a key in the ignition, I didn't think the doors could lock? At least mine never do. With key in the ignition, manually locking the doors always sent an unlock pulse to all doors. I would start there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Yep, the key in ignition could be the cause of your central locking issue. It's meant as a failsafe against locking your keys in your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have the superior 1995 model, I don't think all years have the ignition lock fail safe or whatever it is called. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
u13turbo Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 Yeah its nothing to do with key in the ignition because the locking use to work and the key has always been stuck. I checked for voltages today, and on the drivers door im getting voltage change as i press the unlock/lock button(around 10.7V) all the way down to the little rubber sealed thingy, so im wondering if the fault is in there?
