Location Of Central Locking Module

[kmac]

Hi

 

I have a R reg 1998 Galaxy GLS. I'm trying to locate the Central Locking Module as I want to fit an aftermarket remotelocking module

 

Was going to follow Madbaz's instructions for installing such.....removed passenger seat and voila - nothing. Just some earth wires connected to chassis, and a plug with four wires connected to nothing

 

So anyone know where this unit is located on my model? Other threads say on some models it is not under passenger seat but don't exactly specify where it is.

 

I'd be grateful for some help with this.

on the side bulkhead to the left of the passengers knees - IIRC

heres a diagram - item 13 IIRC

[kmac]

Thanks NikpV - will check and report back with pictures of this.

 

Was looking to have the remote locking fittedthis weekend but the wife's taken the car out now.

Okay not so obvious how to get to the CL module so I will have to connect behind the fusebox as others here have done.

Okay tried to start installing my remote locking kit today.

 

Went to the fusebox so I could tap into the loom behind it and....aaaargh my torx screwdriver is too wide to fit into the recessed hole the torx screws are in. ( It is one of those sets where you have multiple screw driver bits that fit into one handle)

 

Will have to get a new torx set - how fustrating

My dad and I opened up the passenger bulkhead today on a 2002 TDi, couldn't find the central locking module - worth checking under the seat?

[NikpV]

doubt if its under the seat - IIRC this changed in 1998 - you should find the parking sensor control unit under there, is it a ghia?

[jaguar65]

Yes its a Ghia, I spoke to a locksmith relation earlier this evening who is confident that the problem afflicting the car is from the door lock motor

[NikpV]

have you checked the wires in the door loom for

a)wires broken inside intact insulation

:wub: broken insulation leading to a short

 

 

drivers door loom in rubber boot is the most likely, followed by others including the tailgate, this is a well known problem and can cause some very odd effects - what problem are you trying to solve??

 

 

even if you have checked these its worth checking again since opening and closing doors can change the situation

[jaguar65]

The near side rear passenger door lock is the problem - it can be locked or opened manually but fails when centrally locked. It locks and unlocks a number of times before remaining unlocked. When unlocking the car it oscillates back and forth in the same manner before remaining locked.

 

The boot and doors all work fine otherwise - the problem seems confined to this door.

[NikpV]

sounds like either a loom problem in passenger/drivers door or as leccy says solenoid problem I know which I would be investigating first

 

look here and here for mending

Before May 1998, the CLM was under the front passenger seat.

 

Jun 1998 and following, the CLM is integrated into the fusebox which is under the dash on the drivers side - referred to by Frausd as the CJB.

ah that would make sense since the picture of the sharan earlier in the thread is a lhd showing the clm on the lhs :wacko:
