Central locking fault

Post Mon Oct 23, 2006 12:08 pm

I foolishly left my key in the door lock the other night, turned in the lock position. Since then the central locking no longer works. Any ideas what the problem could be?

It's an E30 M3.

Have a read through the above link, should shed some light on the system. You may have overheated the relay, so you might have to re-solder the bit back together as shown in the article above.

Welcome! nice to see another 'local' here

No, not guilty... I work in Poole, live in Alderholt.

Thanks for the info, I'll give it a try.

Hi Tony,

Hope you fix it OK, I used to work for Tony Davis @ Bowman Power, but he also used to own Bowman Yachts in Southampton! and i know he lives in the Dorset / Hants border area...

If you fancy a meet, there is one on 5th Novemeber!
