Hi All,

 

Would just like to start by thanking everyone who has given their time and knowledge to this group, it has been a fantastic help to me over the past couple of years and far better than any haynes manual!!

 

I feel its long overdue for me to give something back...so here goes.

 

I recently encountered a problem with the central locking on my gal where the drivers door failed to lock with the remote key, I also noticed that the trip milometer would reset to "0" every time I returned to the car after a journey.

 

After refering to Nikpv's excellent post in the faq, I checked the wiring loom in the door pillar to the drivers door, here I found a couple of wires with slightly bared insulation, I taped these up with insulation tape and put everything back together.

It would seem that these wires had caused a short circuit and blown a 5amp fuse at position 19, replaced this and everything is back to normal again!!

 

Although I know that this is a very simple fix (and to most a very obvious one) I hope it may help others noobs from getting ripped off by our frendly Fraud stealers telling you that you need a new central locking actuator!!

 

Keep up the good work everyone and thanks again.

Glad you fixed it.

 

Lots of problems are usually simple things.....
