hello guys im new and i been researching everywhere how to fix my centeral locking system, it worked before and other day went out, so the problem in my bmw e30 325i 4dr is that when i lock the car i can hear some click click, but nothing happens, only drivers door locks so i tried trunk, same just hear the click, and only trunk locks what could be wrong? i tried the Central Locking "red/black wire" modification and it didnt help...

Dig the locking ECU out of its hiding place, and confirm that it's receiving power by connecting a 12 volt bulb of at least 5W, preferably 21W, across the red/black and brown wires of its plug.
