Central Locking & Heated Screens Not Working

[fireski]

A number of faults have manifested themselves on my 2002 1.9Tdi Galaxy subsequent to changing the auxiliary heater glowplug and flushing coolant system due to heater not working. Auxiliary heater is now working and heater also, (indicating a possible airlock prior to flushing and refilling coolant).

Unfortunately now the tail gate cannot be opened, the central locking does not work, the heated rear screen does not work and likewise the heated front screen. I

How would that explain that the front and rear heated screens are not working? Are you saying that a short to ground at the rear tailgate, as well as stopping the central locking from working, would also reduce the voltage so as to prevent the front and rear screens from operating? (In respect of rear screen, in darkness I can see a glimmer of a yellow light within the switch and hear a relay clicking when operating switch).

 

Thanks for help!

as said do check for frayed wires in the rear hatch area,but if this is a mk1 check under passenger seat for your very own swimming pool.

I've now pulled trim back on rear hatch and released catch. (Mk 2 2002 plate) Checked wires but no sign of any bare wire(s) that could have been shorting to earth. My gut feel is that there is something that I've done and that there is a common denominator that links all three problems (No front & rear heated screens and no central locking). Any further ideas?!
