Central Locking Has Stopped Working On Corsa - Can't Lock Car?

I flattened my battery dead today by leaving the lights on. I got a jumpstart and it started ok, but I did notice a strange whirring noise. Anyway, now I can't lock the car at all. The key goes in, but won't turn at all to the right to centrally lock.





I've checked fuses, which seem ok. Could it have burnt the locking system out? or could it be to do with the battery being flattened?





It's S reg.|||it isnt the central locking system each door has its own motor for locking so they wouldnt burn out at the same time its got to be the battery it sounds like a problem with the altenator which should charge the battery when the engine is running its that or a duff battery wont be that costly|||i flattened the battery on my n reg corsa a few weeks ago, had to drive 30 miles home, with the constant loud shrieking. yes the battery needs to be fully charged before the central locking will work again, a good guide to charging a battery back to full charge, is to ride around for about 30 minutes, and not use anything electrical in the car, this way the battery charges quicker.|||The battery needs to be fully charged for the central locking to work, I imagine it hasnt got enough charge. Lock all the doors individually and put the battery on charge overnight.|||take your car to aUTO ZONE AND THEY WILL CHECK YOUR BATTERY FOR FREE THEY WILL BRING THE UNIT OUT AND HOOK IT UP.ALSO ASK IF THE CCA WHICH MEANS COLD CRANKING AMPS ARE FINE.BE SMART LET THEM DO THE WORK AND FOR FREE TOO.EMAIL ME IF YOU NEED MORE.
