central locking electrical help!!!!!

[mrLEE30]

right i have been meaning to sort this lot out for a bit...as seems to be an E30 norm my drivers side door lock barrel has fell somewhere inside the door about six months ago, so as a quick fix i stuck the outer bit through the hole fixed with duct tape and proceeded to live very happily locking my car from the boot.

But now that doesn't seem to work which i am guessing to be electrical. Fuse ok but before i go tearing carpets up and removing panels anyone got any bright ideas???

To clarify the boot lock works fine but doesn't trigger the central locking, fuse fine but not sure if a relay is involved in there somewhere (only got a haines which is Sh1te )

thanks lads and ladies

Fish the locking module out of its hiding place deep in the (left hand in your case?) cill, and check for 12V + on the black/red wire. Check with a 12V lamp if possible, rather than a meter.
