Central Locking

[playboy]

Hi ive just bought an r reg vw sharan and the central locking does not work there is no sound when you turn the key it doesnt even attept to open but all the doors open and lock by key ive checked the fuses non seem to be blown and i dont have the tool to get the door cards off to have a look also the fag lighter does not work dont know if there linked in some way.The inside of the car is dry no leaks so i ruled out electrical short due to water any help would be appreciated as im stumped thanks charles.

If it's a mk1 the fuse for c/l is above and to the left of the relay board I think it's number 55 35amp.

You could have broken wire syndrome (driver door and/or tailgate) in the gaiters.
