Evening, the remote locking stopped working on the car today. No response from any of the buttons. Battery in the key is good and I've checked the fuse.

 

Looking at previous posts would this be the convenience control module that needs replacing?

 

If so is it easy enough to do or will it need coding to the car? 

Does the lock/unlock switch near the gear lever still work?

It does yes. This is the only way I can open the boot at the moment. 

 

I (think) I've located the module. Any idea's how this it removed from here? I can't see any housing holding it in

The fact that the manual switch works says to me that the convenience control module is working.

 

One common problem for the central locking is broken wires is the cable trunk you see when the door is open. it connect wiring between the body and door. This carries power and signals to the drivers door locking system which also talks to other doors.

Check all the wires for breaks in the trunking.

 

Also, with the ignition on, open each door in turn and see if a door open icon is displayed on the dash.

All doors display as open on the dash including boot/bonnet. I've scanned the car with OBD11 and it shows a fault with "control unit" when you try to go into that it says it's not responding, check ignition and try again. Have never been able to access it. Just wonder if whatever that 'unit' is, is dead? Would have expected other issues also though?

 

Still need to check the wiring  in the cable trunks.
