Central locking not working.opened car manually and fuse box is clicking constant. Can't find a burned fuse?

i really don't know what it is. when i take out the fuse that is labelled ALIM UCH the ticking stops. I don't think my alarm works anyway on the car. Also the car won't even start. is there some problem with the engine managment system?|||it is not the fuse box clicking it is a relay switch near the fuse box..


check your car manual for the label that says ALIM UCH, this is no engine problem maybe this is worn/shorted wiring that needs to be fixed|||please indicate year make and model and i might be able to help you|||Try replacing the battery.... the clicking could well be the system trying to come online but due to lack of power it is unable too.|||The clicking sounds is the relay, you need to find which one it is and by the sound for thing replace it.

Fitting central locking and alarm on ford fiesta 02 reg?

I cannot lock my car with the key from the outside. (not central locking)?

I have a W reg VW polo (Mark III facelift 00-02) and i recently installed some new speakers,finished that job but then i noticed that the front drivers door lock doesnt work properly.





Basically i cant lock the drivers door with the key from the outside, however i can unlock it with the key from the outside. The door still locks from the inside so the barrel cant be broken.





Is the lock broke or have I just knocked something off when messing around with the speakers??|||The linkage from the key to the locking mechanism probably needs to be adjusted. It is reached by removing the panel from the inside of the door.|||Well there's no way you can fix the lock without getting to it.

How can i open my car door if the Central Lock not working?

When I used my remote control to unlock my car today, it doesnt work, then i tried to use my spare remote control. It is still not working.





If I use my key to open the door directly, the security alarm would active (beep). cos i cant use the remote control to unlock it.


Now my car is still in my friend's car park and i cant drive my car to repair~~ anyone tell me how to do pls|||Isn't technology great?





If you unlock it by using the key, as soon as you start the car, the alarm should turn off.





Otherwise, have it towed to your dealer.|||Open the car with your key. Your alarm will sound. Open the hood and find a power wire to your alarm system and disconnect the alarm.





Many times, that would be enough to get you going. If the alarm is design so that it would disable the car if disconnected, then you have to find the wire that grounds the power to distributor (or whatever else it does to disable the car). But at least with the alarm disconnected you'll have breathing time to work on the car.|||First you should try replacing the batteries in the remotes. they are simple watch batteries found at pretty much any watch store. If that doesn't work then just open the hood (the alarm will go off unfortunaly) and undo the battery cables and accessory cables. That should kill the power to the alarm. Then only put the main battery cables( the two big ones) back on with out the accessory cables. That will get the car to start and the alarm will be unpowered. You can then take it to a repair shop and have them look at the alarm system.|||Is this a factory installed or after market alarm system. Does your key have a chip in it to start the car? If it is factory then you open the door with the key you have so long to start it before the alarm goes off.

Are power locks on a car the same as central locking? ie. remote locking.?

power locks would be the same as central locking. could be very minor differences. on some cars the drivers button will lock all the doors and some will have that feature on the passenger door also. remote locking usually refers to a remote control of some type so you can lock and unlock your car once you are outside of it. hope this helped.|||Power locking is sometimes referred to as dead locking.

My car boot does not open with the central locking key this is mercedes e270 what is the problem?

Bad key? Bad lock?





Someone will have to diagnose the problem to know for sure.|||Unlock or open specifically?





There's a number of possible solutions to this or what it could be depending upon the specific spec/age of your E class. So I'll try and cover all of them.





Has it ever opened, rather than unlock, with the remote?





If it has opened using a specific button on your remote then try changing the batteries in the remote. If this doesn't work then there is a problem with the system. Or some security setting is in play (see below).





If it is supposed to unlock, but not open, with all of the other doors, then is your system in the mode that requires one press to unlock the driver door and then a second press to unlock the rest. 2 presses are required to unlock the boot.





If this still doesn't unlock the boot with all of the other doors then you may have to try different lock positions. This is done by inserting the key physically in the boot lock and trying it in all of the positions where it allows you to remove the key after doing so. Many boot locks have a setting to allow you to set them independently of the central locking system. Difficult to describe without a diagram but it may be horizontal key position. Just try all that it lets you do.





This may also be a solution if you do have a boot button on your remote.





There could also be something resembling a catch that has to be physically switched, something like a child lock catch, on the boot catch. Many manufacturers offer extra security facilities on boots with central locking systems to prevent boot raiding when waiting at lights.





I'm sure you will be able to find some solution in all this. Either that or decide that you need something fixing.|||could be same as bmw's different button on key fob opens the boot

Any ideas about central locking on an 02 Clio Expression?

Both the keys for my clio have started playing up and dont always open or lock my car. I got a new battery put in one however its still a bit hit or miss!





However when i lock my car using the actual key it doesnt lock all the doors - i found this a touch strange as it has remote central locking so why isnt the central locking working? The button inside to lock the doors works fine so im baffled as to why its not working.





Has anyone had this problem or know whats causing it and how to repair it? Advice on the keys would be great as well.





Thanks|||Most car companies use the driver's door lock as a switch for the central locking.


Renault don't - they fit a separate switch on the dashboard (probably low on the central console, has a picture of a padlock on it).


Therefore, if you lock/unlock the car with the key, you only lock or unlock that one door. You need to use the internal switch or the remote to operate the central locking.|||It may be as simple as the key fob battery needs changing. But being that both keys don't work you should just take it to the dealer and they will sort it. Normally its a prob with the setting of the car security electrcs. All they will do is reset it for you and it should work fine.

Central locking on cars........ can you get a similar type of lock for your house front door?

It's possible they are sold for residential application, though I haven't seen one yet.





The "monitoring" might not strictly be neccesary, but certainly in a commercial sense there are varieties. One on my job sites uses a Mag Lock system, but has to be activated with a "FOB" (key) scanned over a sensor. The locking mechanism itself is pretty simple; just an electro magnet/plate, approx. 3 x 6? That has been as effective as any I've seen.





Certainly there might also be garage door opener types, or servo motor types, as well, but I can't see the economy in any. Beyond that, any system that depends on electricity would depend on that electricty being "ON" 24/7. In the case of many systems, you might either have NO access, if "locks" remained so, in a power failure, OR, your House would be completely UN locked in any power outages.





Then one more, which I find totally inefficient/ Key card keys, as used in hotels.





Of course you could spend more and get a Finger print scanner device, or a retinal scanner.





On a light hearted note, related to the future of technology, there was a recent TV ad that showed Voice activation technology, not yet available. The fun example was a young lady, arms full, hand holding a cup of beverage, apparently going to work, saying "Doors Open".

A couple of questions





You do not say how many keys you have and if this problem is with one or both of them?





If you can check in your owners Manual if you have one





Did this start happening after you changed the Fob Battery?


If yes.


1, You may have had the battery out to long ((My Vectra has Max of 30 Seconds) If this is the problem the spare should still work) so it has now got to be Re-matched to the Car, Sit in car, Doors shut, Switch On ignition (You now have 10 Seconds) and press either Lock or Unlock button on the Fob and release. If the Central Locking now cycles by locking and unlocking the doors you have fixed it.


2, You may have dropped the chip from inside the Fob (If this is the problem the spare should still work) You will need to get the Fob re-chipped.





If you have done nothing and this started unexpectedly then check the Central Locking Main fuse Mine is by itself and 30 Amp rated on the Fuse Box inside the car, Central Locking will still work on key but that should also switch off the alarm.





In either case the Immobiliser will not be affected as that is on a different system and is switched off when you push key into the ignition and is not part of the chip system.





Hope this helps

Citroen Saxo Can anyone help with central locking?

Car locks fine. But when you unlock it, it locks itself straight away. Does this with the key fob, with the key in the lock and when unlocking with door pin. |||98% you do not have any faults with your central locking. If you did then you would be having problems both locking and unlocking your car.


This is a very common classic saxo problem, as any decent mechanic can tell you.





What has happened to your car is that the actual handle mechanism is starting to freeze up due to corrosion on its return spring. This causes it not to return its link rod to the locking mechansim to its full stop position, so the lock thinks that someone is trying to open that door handle all the time.


This problem can be fixed with no new parts and without removing any of the door cards. (besides, only an idiot would remove all the door cards just to find the fault!).


The handles can be removed from the outside by drilling out the rivets that hold them, prise them up and out from the car and then unclip the link rod to the lock. Then spray the handle pivot with copious amounts of WD40 and repeatedly open and close it a LOT of times. Eventually it will spring closed by itself when you open it (i know it already does this on the car, but it is not the handle spring but rather the lock spring that is doing this. Once you remove the handle from the car you will see that when opened it does not spring back.) Once the handle can spring closed by itself you should coat the pivot and spring with copper grease and refit with new rivets.


To give you an indication I can remove the rear door handles in 16 seconds and the front ones in just under 1 minute (they are slightly more awkward). The rear handles are usually the first ones to give bother as they are used the least.|||Hi


One of your central locking units is faulty,to find out which one it is you will need to remove all the door cards and unplug them one at a time till it locks and stays locked,sometimes when you have a fault with central locking you can hear the faulty lock operating it will keep clicking

(This is made a lot easier with a Haynes manual)





1) Remove the door panel


2) Remove the door lock positioning element


3) On the top you will see a couple wires going into a switch, the switch needs to come out (this is the door locking micro switch) one contact controls "lock" and the other controls "unlock"


4) Check the conductivity of both contacts with an ohm meter


5) If there is no conductivity when you lightly press either of the switches you found your problem.


6) The switch can be further disassembled to expose the tiny spring contacts, give them a shot a break cleaner then some WD-40


7)Celebrate your savings with a cold beer (Or drink of choice)





This fixed mine and I have had no problems since.

Car does not lock with remote after driving ,have to wait 20mints and the central locking will operate?

what could be the fault|||It sounds like it is time to change the battery in the remote control.|||the usual problem with central remote locking is jamming locks in the doors.





there are "solenoids" that operate the locks when you click the zapper dodad.. but if dirt in the locks etc is making resistance the solenoids sense the resistance and refuse to open.





maybe the jiggling of driving makes the jamming worse in your case. In addition to the above, its possible one of the wires to the solenoids has a loose or dirty connection.





I suggest you take the front door trim panels off and spray some WD40 (water repellant light oil in a spray can.. ) onto the locks and levers. WD40 won't effect the electrics. Check the mechanisms for free movement. While you have the mechanism visible operate the door clicker doodad and see that everything is working smooth. Let the WD40 flow a bit from its spray can so that it flushes dirt out of the locks.





Unplug the wires a few times and reconnect them. If anything looks loose, replace or solder it. If any of the plastic bushes or metal rods look damaged.. repair or replace them,





If the central lock operates the back doors, do the above to them as well.





In all the above operations, check that the solenoids operate freely and consistently. Door solenoids are probably about $80 each at a wreckers yard if yours look a bit suss..





Even if the problem is as simple as a new little battery required for a clicker ( which I doubt very much since it would be really really weird for that to cause a fault that happens only after you drive the car! ).. the above procedure is normally required in a central locking system as a service item ( lubricate and check )..





Most of the joints are plastic bushes with metal rods, so just zapping with WD40 to get crap out is enough. But smearing a bit of "dry lube" or white grease in the mechanisms in addition.. isn't such a bad idea. Dont get too liberal with grease stuff however since it attracts and holds dirt and might jam the mechanism again even quicker!

2nd car key won't work central locking?

Car is a Renault Laguna Estate S reg.


1st key works fine for the central locking. 2nd key doesn't. Was never used, and has never had a battery in it.


How can I get it to work, without spending much or nothing?|||Hello





If you mean as a remote?





Insert new battery and close


Sit in car close doors and put key in ignition.


Turn ignition On (Not start)


You have Max 10 Secs to press and release Lock or Unlock button.


Door locks should cycle to show key is now matched to the car remote system.





If you mean as a Physical key then take to a Key cutter, Most big supermarkets have them these days and ask them to check it.


Or get out a fine file or Emery Paper (Wet and Dry) and try taking off any high points.

How to disconnect a car battery before going for a vacation - so that central locking is still active?

the locks are not electrically operated the central locking merely opens and closes them disconnecting the battery when the doors are locked will leave them locked and even more secure since then only a key will open them|||If you're not going to be on vacation for very long, say over 30 days, I'd leave the battery connected. The reason for this is that the computer in your car will have to "relearn" your driving habits all over again once the battery is reconnected upon your return. All electronic memories like your radio functions and any other settings will have to be reprogrammed. It's not that big of a deal, but there's really no purpose in disconnecting the battery for up to 30 days. The car's electrical systems will not draw much energy from the battery. Any alarm system you likely have on the car will also not be working. The main thing is, enjoy your well deserved vacation and don't worry about the battery running down. Good luck with your decision!|||There is no way you can accomplish this unless you rewire the locking mechanism to the battery separetely|||Just take the negative (black) cabble off.. But make sure it isn't going to ground out on anything, very important.. But yeah you cant keep just the locks powerd up, use the key.|||You can't.

Only one indicator light flashing when I use the central locking on my car?

You know when you lock/unlock your car remotely with the central locking, and the indicators flash?


Well only one side on mine is doing it and it's kinda giving me the shits cause I've put a fair bit of work into my car.


I've checked that both sides work when I indicate, and both sides work when I use the hazard light... Just not with the central locking?!?!?!


It's probably something simple but I just can't think of what it is??


Any suggestions would be tops, thanks!!|||If both sides work when you signal and all your hazards work, then don't worry about it.





There is a receiver inside your vehicle somewhere that your remote sends the signal to. It's usually under the dash. If it really bothers you that much, find the little box wherever it is and double check that all the connections are tight. Pretty much the only thing I can think of. Unless your particular remote locking model does that as an indication something is wrong. Might want to read the manual.





Is it your signal lights that flash when you push the button, or the main headlights? Could just be a burned out bulb.





EDIT: Drake that is funny crap.|||Or it could be like most alarms and uses the parking lights not the turn signal lights as an indicator. If it is indeed hooked up to your turn signal bulbs the install shop is a bunch of idiots.

Does a fuel pump run on the same fuse as the central locking on your car?

Normally they don't, unless it has been messed up. Comfort and engine functions are usually kept apart.|||You would hope not. I've heard Dodge runs stupid unrelated stuff together though so if you have a dodge maybe.|||I will have to say no most cars and trucks have a one set fuse for a fuel pump|||Not normally.





Fuel pump has a dedicated circuit on all vehicles we have seen.|||You must have fuel pump and lock problems by the way you worded your question. The 2 are definitely on separate circuits with separate fuses. The only possibility of the two problems being related to a common repair would be a major wiring harness problem which is highly unusual. Your owners manual and or the fuse box cover should have a fuse diagram telling you what fuses are related to what components they protect on your vehicle.|||Well everyone is going towards knowing that the items are usually on separate circuits,but.


But the only thing that these two circuits have in common is that they both are part of the alarm circuit.


You might of locked your car on the last of the batteries' life then unlocked the car by key because the keypad was not working. The alarm/security system shuts off the fuel pump via keypad/fob and also locks the doors. Take it to a dealer if it has a factory security system, tow it in. Or if the security system is store bought/installed take it to the place of purchase.|||More than likely not. You'll have to consult with the owners manual to find out for sure. But I hope not!

Does my car have REMOTE central locking as standard?

Any Ford dealer can supply a duplicate key.|||You should have got TWO keys AS WELL as the red key, so the guy lost two.

however, you do still need another key, you are putting yourself at risk of great expense because if you lose the key, not only will you need to pay a locksmith to get into the car, you will need to pay ford to disable the immobiliser (the chip in the key basically turns off the immobiliser allowing you to drive it), you would also need new locks and keys, and in the end, it would be cheaper to buy a new car. as someone said, any good locksmith should be able to do it, for example timpson's. almost anyone who does car keys will do the chips, because almost every car has had these chips in for over 10 years now.


you can either have a generic key or an original (so it says ford on it), if you want an original you will need to either go to a dealer or timpsons do offer this service at some places, it says on their website.

Is it possible to install a car alarm and central locking system seperately?

Im trying to save cost when hiring someone to install it my car alarm system. Ive been looking around and it seems that you can only get installation service if you buy the car alarm system off them which makes sense of youre trying to make good money.








so instead im thinking about:








buying a cheaper central locking system off ebay then buy a car alarm system off the installation service provider and ask them to install the central locking system I bought off ebay and the car alarm system off them.





This would save me cost of buying the central lokcing system and the car alarm itself from the installation service provider which would be really expensive.





so Is this a good idea?





ps. Im replacing my existing central locking system because I lost my central locing remote so I have to replace the whole thing.|||don't change your central locking system when the alarm is installed it will control the door locks you have and the alarms remote will function just fine even if you did not lose your original remote it would not matter once the new alarm system is installed the alarms remote will control lock and unlock functions i'd just purchase the alarm and have it installed. if you do it the way you have said you will spend a lot more money
