Remote central locking

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   My remote central locking has failed (ages ago) and I've just kept using the key to open and shut on the drivers door.
The standard key has a new battery in it and I can see the little red light glow on the fob when I press 'unlock'.

The bus is a 2000 2.5tdi caravelle if that matters?

When I first got the bus it had an aftermarket alarm/remote that could even start the bus to warm it up. This has all been taken out a couple of years ago so everything thats in the van now is as it should be from the factory.

I have been told that their is some sort of relay that might have failed that the key talks to?
Don't know whether thats right or complete bollocks but if anyone could shed some light on where to begin or what part has likely to have failed it would be appreciated.

	Anyone? I'm having some other parts of a breaker and I'd like to let him know asap if there's any C/L bits that I need as well. Ta

	Ditto; I've got same problem. Mine's a 51 plate 1.9TD, with central locking fitted as standard. Didn't work when I got the van, the fob's little red light glows when you press it, the battery has 3.06 volts in it (I think that means it's ok), but nothing happens with the central locking. As with Aspo13, I don't know where to start looking for problems. Cheers in advance.
