I have a clifford concept alarm/immobiliser which arms and un arms as it should do, but it no longer fires my central locking.

Central locking works perfectly with the key from passenger side, but will only unlock from drivers side - but i think this is a drivers side lock barrel issue.

Any ideas as to why the clifford wont fire my locks??

Depending on where its fitted, there should be 3 fused wires by the box.
Check those.
What concept is it??

Yes yes, been through this debate before on the Cliffords, but, the old ones aren't problematics at all, they were built properly rather than the new lot.

Most of the time it's down to poor installation, Not the unit itself.

Check for the lock pulse when you arm the system to make sure the unit is sending out the required voltage.

E30 central locking is negative trigger, does the central locking operate from the drivers door pin inside the car?? some e30s ive worked on have had corrosion on the harness from the door to the car check that. i think the older cliffords have two wires for the central locking blue and green, check them too. i doubt its the alarm that is the issue, poss the central locking box.
