320iSE 1990

[PaulGShaw]

Hi to all, brand new to this site and about to own 1990 320iSE manual 4 door.....I have the car and the central locking is playing up, I can hear a relay ‘ding’ somewhere in the driver’s footwell but the doors don’t lock or unlock.....except the driver’s of course.
Where is this relay lurking?....I think I need to investigate....
Cheers to all, Paul....

Welcome to the mad house

First of all check the WIKI most answers there
https://www.e30zone.net/e30wiki/index.p ... al_Locking

Then have a search through this section for "central locking" and have a read of some of the old threads, lots of good info there.

Couple of recent threads about it.
