Central Locking

[angat]

My central locking went the other day, does anyone know a way to get to the petrol tank??

Everything you need, from fixing the locking to opening the petrol flap, is on this page:

Sort the red/black wire and you probably won't need to get to the flap release.

mines just gone mad as well. It was locking by itself.Next day nothing.Tried unpluging all the actuators , took out the relay .Opened it up, the resister had melted the joint.So re soldered it , then tried the drivers actuator , that works.Passenger one plugged in, wont work and siezed.Removed it again.All seemed to work.I thought i'd just replace that.Then later the boot and flap actuators wont work (did earlier) and resister thing popped again.Re soldered it again, but boot and petrol flap actuators still wont work, and now the drivers actuator wont work !! dont know what to do now.fuse 27 is ok, relays click but thats it . Any ideas ?

I removed the carpet lining then removed the wire. The flaps still
Not opening. Will doing the red/black wire work

Does anyone have any pictures to go along with the red/black mod for the central locking? I know it sounds very straight forward but a picture always helps?
