Ok so in my Tourer the drivers actuator failed , to which i disconected for a few days .
Now at first all locking resumed fine apart from the drivers door of course .
Then ready to ho to an mot the boot nor petrol cap unlocked !!!
I managed to open the petrol cap by pushing the pin back in .

Now ive replaced the actuator but only the front two doors lock and unlock on the central locking , No rear doors boot or cap .
Now i can unlock the rear doors by hand with the door pins but im stuck with the boot being locked due to it being a different key .

Ive done the ol red/black wire trick and tryed the big locking relay from my 2door .

Any suggestions ???

I maybe wrong but don't you have to hold the key in the lock or unlock position for 20 seconds?
if there wern't people like me,
with cars like mine,
who would you put down to make yourself feel better?

I think you may be wrong.

I found the green/violet wire on the c/l unit in the foot well and ground it using some wire but still no boot unlocked :/ .

I have failed to mention there is an alarm fitted to the car . Clifford 650 . Pressing the fob to unlock is the same as the key .

Thanks

I tryed the green and violet wire the ground again today with the c/l box unplugged and the boot opened and now functions how it should .
But the rear doors still dont lock on the key/central locking .
