Central Locking Galaxy 2.3

[The Teacher]

Hi,

 

I am new on here and also new to Ford cars.

 

I have just been given a W (2000 reg) Ford Galaxy Zetec 2.3 but without an owners manual.

 

The problem I have is that the two passenger (middle) doors do not seem to lock with the central locking. The front doors and the boot do, but to lock the middle doors I have to depress the handles from the inside.

 

I appreciate that there are several threads on here regarding central locking but none seem to offer a solution without getting really technical. Although I am a science teacher I know nothing about car electrics!

 

Also is there anyway to get a manual without having to go to a German registered website to pay for a PDF version.

 

Many thanks

Thanks for the reply but I think I have solved it. Something to do with the child locks been on or off.

 

I did look in FAQs to start with but didn't seem to be specific to what I was looking for.

 

Thanks again.
