Can't Lock Doors

[Dr Pete]

Hi, I've got problems related to central locking. When I turn th key in the lock everything locks and immediately unlocks. I've posted the problem earlier but need a couple of specific answers. This problem is almost certainly due to a very wet footwell and I'm dealing with that and sugestions made relevant to an earlier post. Trouble is I'm going to Crufts tomorrow and want to be able to lock my car. So if I pull the fuse for the central locking will this allow me to manually lock the doors? Also, someone said that if youemove the power form the CLU under the seat that it has to be reset by Ford. Is this true? I've had flat batteries and blown fuses in the past but never had to hqave a reset! Somebody has suggested taking the CLU out and drying it in the house. How do I do this and will it need resetting after.

 

Many thanks

If you unplug the right hand plug from the brain under the passenger seat then all doors will only lock by hand, (r/h/s looking from front)

The unit is not the cars main brain , I have taken mine out before because of water ingress and it had no effect on the unit, it is only held in place by 2 10mm nuts.
