pbryant_knight Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 HI All, I've been reading all the older threads about this and wondered if anyone could shed any light. My central locking just stopped working today. It started by being tempremental, sometimes working and sometimes not, but then just stopped altogether? Can't try my windows as they're buggered anyway Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-NA Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Cold, wet,damp maybe ? Mine does the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbryant_knight Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 my elec seat is still working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-NA Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 No inside the door, quite common for water to get in and mess up the CL, mine messed up when i had the car jet washed. Best to take door card off and have a poke around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbryant_knight Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 will it be in the drivers side door? Also, would it be worth spraying WD40 into the lock from the outside or would that just do nothing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-NA Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Yeah take the door card off (instructions are on here somewhere) and clean up all connections, WD40 should be fine, hopefully should solve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil-NA Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Mine works now since it has dried out, did you try the WD40? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbryant_knight Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 haven't had a chance to get the door card off with this weather and no garage. It's going in next weekend to get the window motor put in so i'll do it then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willh1987 Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Iv just tried to get in mine and the key or fob wouldnt unlock the doors. Unlocked the boot tho so had to climb in through there and tried the central locking button on the actual door but it would only lock the car, fob did the same only locked. Hope its just the weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 My CL started to fail about 3 weeks ago, wouldnt lock and now it doesnt do either, the car doesnt get used much and there was a lot of moisture on the inside of the windscreen so I am putting it down to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
