Reverse lights work?
If you try to work the central locking off fuse 10, then fuse 10 isn't going to last long!
If you're going to bypass the original red/black wire, then pick it up from where it goes down the front left of the passenger footwell, behind the speaker panel.

Reverse lights, one of the rev counter feeds, and one of the OBC feeds are all from fuse 10, which, at 7.5A, isn't going to last long powering the locking motors

Have you actually changed the fuse or just inspected it? Do the door mirrors and heater fan work?
