Central Locking & Alarm Failure

[bramleydawson]

Vehicle - Ford Galaxy Ghia x 1998 2.8 v6

 

Problem - 1st Rear door only opened with key

2nd lost Central locking, Alarm and interia lights only work if put to perminant on, will not work on doors opening

 

What i've done - checked rear door solenoid worked with power probe, it did, after reading other topics, i took out the relay under the pasenger seat next to the alarm control unit to make sure clean and good contacts, all is clean and dry with no corossion, when i replaced the relay i thought i heard a snick down by the fuse box! when this happened i lost remote / central locking and alarm. have to lock each door induvidually.

 

I checked the fuses in the fuse box located lower right drivers side numbered 1 - 22, all fuses are fine, checked power both sides of all fuses all ok!

 

Any ideas??

 

Is there a fuse or relay i'm missing

 

I checked the interia lights, i have perminant power up there, so i'm presuming there's a relay that throws it to earth when the door is opened.

 

This is my first Galaxy and i love it, no i mean it i love it, of to France end of August and will be a pleasure driving it.

 

many thanks in advance to anyone out there :D

There were two wires which were broken and I repaired but I also saw that the insulation on some of the others is cracking so at some point I will be changing all of the wiring at this point. This was due to hapen soon but just been hit with a bill of
