my central locking has recently been playing up, so I took out the ECU relay from the drivers side speaker and realised the thermal cut out (I didn't know it was a Thermal Cut out wire until now) so I simply soldered it up to fix it. Everything was fine for a week or two, until I come back to my car and it's completely deadlocked and won't budge. I manage to get into the car with the key and took another look at the ECU relay, the thermal wire I soldered had melted again, so I tried to fix it again, but to no avail.
I even got a fresh ECU relay unit from a breakers yard and tried that, but still nothing. Brianmooore has advised me I have probably fried my motors, but how can I be 100% sure, before I start buying other parts. He advised me to undo the 2 screws that hold the motor in place and I should be able to pull the pin up and down, which didn't work either.
I want to be able to isolate the problem before I start buying other bits. I remember reading somewhere if you run a 12v current through the brown and blue wire from the ECU box it should either deadlock or undeadlock your doors.. so could I try this before replacing the motors (obviously if it works the motors are ok?)
And would like to think there is some sort of a solution to the thermal fuse going (Could I not wire a fuse across it to the fusebox or somethign, then just keep a sh!t load of fuses in the glove box?)...
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance MooZ
