remove cover and speaker then undo the 2 10mm nuts and pull the relay up from behind speaker its fitted to a triangular metal plate


ps you sure you havent turned the key to fully locked on the boot?? full to the right

if you have just turn it back left so itll relaease from the central locking again

If the relay doesnt sort your problem then the Back/Red wire trick probably will
Use the search button to find out how to do it!

Cut the red/black wires that do a loop inside the relay and join them together, it's a common failure.

It worked for me when my central locking stopped working totally.

Moved to the tech section.
