central locking!!

7th December 2011, 14:35

hey guys when i bought the car i didn't get a fob key just the normal key but it only opens the driver door and the rest stay locked so when i want passengers ive got to go inside and open it by the pin and also the same as the boot i have to unlock it by the key which was fine at first but now ive had the car couple of month its starting to annoy me. any ideas how to fix it. its a saxo vts 52 plate so it should at least open all the doors when i unlock the driver door you get me?

I had the exact same problem with my car! i manged to fix it last week!

i didnt have a solonoid in the boot so that wouldnt unlock any way but had all the wires so it would,

then the passengers door i took all the door cards off then put your hand in down to the lock end and you should feel a black box (the solonoid) if there is one if there isnt you need to get one, mine had snapped.

all you need to do mate is go down to your local scrappy and get the solonoid out of the passengers door and the boot and then litterally push them into place and connect the wires then feed the metal rod throught the eye of the soloniod so it goes up and down.

the boot solonoid is enclosed in a black casing, if you follow the guide to de wipering your car you will see how to get to it all.

i got mine for nothing i just went down to the scrappy and chucked them in the tool box and left.
make sure you get the passengers side because the drivers door is different.

if that doesnt work then it might be how is set up,
