Centrol Locking not working

[yellowsierra]

Hi everyone
I now own my first Bm and its an 1990 e30
one owner from new 320 se so a good find, however, the central locking does not work for some reason. I have tried replacing the Relay behind the front speaker but it still done work. Anyone got any ideas

Regards
Ian

You would think so, but this leads to a blank page.

It's not only a cure for a well known problem, but is also preventative maintenance as well. The presence of a permanent voltage inside the connector cause corrosion of other pins that are nothing to do with the locking, if there is any moisture present.
The inside of the connector should be dry; protected by a rubber boot, but if this boot is to seal properly, it must be fitted to the plug before the plug is pushed into the socket.

It's also a good idea to grease the pins and sockets to help keep them dry.

That will be silicon grease. Every pin in every electrical connector gets a smear of this when I renovate a car.
