Mk1 Central Locking Ecu

[Amarok]

Hello everyone,

I am a new owner of a 1997 2.8 V6 Galaxy Ghia, (24 hours).

I am slowly working my way through the list of things to fix and after

getting some replacement batteries for the key fob and reading the various posts on this forum

my next task was get the central locking working (it works on the Key but not on the fob)

I checked the LED in the drivers door but it was dead and after I removed the cover to the passenger

seat I found this

it looks like the ECU has flown the coop !

there is a relay still there (I assume this is what is running the central locking via the key ?)

can anyone advise please ?

I have seen on fleabay 2 MK 1 ECU's, locks and immobiliser

My question is can I get one of these ecu's, plug it in and off we go or do I need to change all the kit

Thank You

nope wont work the later cars dont have the unit in same place and is of a different type, the relay is for the rear door soloniod. do it the easy way get a cheap alarm off fleabay that does central locking as well, much much cheaper. thats what i did on my 96 galaxy. ive still got the colour codes somewhere if you need them, btw is yours the ir or radio (av a look near the mirror has it got a roundish unit there)
