Morning!!!
When I locked my car lastnight after driving home from work the central locking didn't work! I can hear the module groaning in the drivers footwell but the drivers door won't lock!
Is it possible to fix this module or will I need a new one?
I'm a bit concerned as I have to leave my car in east London tonight!
Any help would be much appreciated!

If the C/L module is "moaning", theny ou need to take it out from behind the speaker.
Check to see if there is any water in the well too, if so, the drainage point is blocked and will need unblocking.
Also, search for the Red/Black mod.
If you need a good seconhand working module, i have a few here.

If you Got "Haters",Then your doing something Right!

Search function; red AND black; my username.
Why can't you lock it manually, with the key?

Thanks guys!
I can't lock the drivers door with the key it just moans at me... I guess I could lock the drivers door and climb across and get out the passenger side and lock the rest manually..
I'll take it out and have a look, thanks rav!
