  • Windows and central locking not working - any ideas?

    Hi all, finsihed work yesterday, went to open car and when pressing the the alarm fob to disarm alarm, etc.. doors wouldnt open. The lights flash on he car when you turn it on or off, but doors not responding for some reason.
    If I go to open drivers door manually with key, it unlocks and door pins go up however as soon as you turn key back to pull out of door, they go straight down again.
    If I open manually from passeneger door, doors remain unlocked. The alarm and immobilisor can still be armed and disarmed through the alarm fob, car starts, drives, etc... I also noticed that my front and rear windows also wont go up or down, they remain closed.
    Everything else in the car works, bar doors and windows. Strange thing is, if I get out of the car and the doors are not locked, i can still set alarm and it activates and works per norm including the immobilisor.
    I tried looking through bently but could nt find any reference to fuses or relays relating to central locking or windows. When opening doors with key, you can heat the motor from the central locking midule in the boot.

    HELP! Thak all.

    Sounds like something's not happy with the aftermarket central locking / alarm wiring. Maybe trace it down and have a look / redo the connections.

      Hmm, may need to. just seems strange that it all works bar doors and windows. I thought maybe a vacum leak from central locking unit but i dont think so...

        Try pulling out the drivers door handle and see if the little shaft that turns the switch isnt broken.

          I dont understand how that could be the case. The doors lock and unlock via key, its only with the remote that they wont, I was thinking something along the lines of a main fuse maybe.. Ill have a look anyway

            ended up being the front passanger window motor. was causing a short. disconnected it and now all works well, just cant put the front passanger window down. other than that, all windows and power central locking now work fine ....
