Central locking problem

Hello all,

I'm having an interesting problem with my central locking at the moment; I went to the car and tried to open the doors and the driver door opens fine but the passenger door doesn't. I then tried to lock and reopen the driver side door as I thought it could be a sticky mechanism but the door wouldn't lock. Then I checked the boot and petrol cap and both of them were just like the passenger side door; locked. Now I cannot lock the car. I just wanted to know if anybody had any suggestions or if it has happened to anyone else and how they got out of it! I have already checked the fuse which I think is number 27, if I'm wrong please correct me. The car is a 90' 318iS by the way!
Thanks,

Harvy.

Had a similar prob last year on my 318is - search for black/red ( or is it red/black) wire modification on here. Brian Moore has put a lot up about it on the zone- to do with the multipin connector between drivers door and front wing corroding. Mine all worked fine after doing this job EddieG
