Central locking playing up!!!

[Borderbmw]

Im fed up today,the missus went out in my d plate 320 on saturday and locked the car as normal,ie all the way over to deadlock it,when she came back to it only the drivers door will unlock and the passenger door and petrol fill are deadlocked now does anyone have any ideas what the fault could be,im going to attack it tomorrow so if anyone has any clues where i should look it would be most helpful?

Have you checked out the tech article on this site which details a few possible faults in the central locking system? See here:

MIne did this mate, and i got a new(ish) central locking control unit to go in the kick panel. I was locked out of the car but luckily had left the window oopen so got the drivers door open and the passenger/boot/filler were dead locked. I think you'll find a new unit will fix it, try IM'ing 320touring he had a few when I got mine, good price too.

[Borderbmw]

Thanks for the info,now i think of it i can hear a clicking sound from the drivers footwell area when i try to unlock it,could be a relay or similar? doesnt sound very happy tho!

Just read the tech guide,i think ill try the resoldering guide 1st,as im decidedly skint as usual as im a workshy layabout!

[dazleeds]

if it dnt work mate let me know ive got a central locking relay here Ԛ£15posted cheers Daz leeds

[Borderbmw]

Thanks mate,ill try the soldering but ill have to change it sooner rather than later as i cant run the risk of it locking her out again! I couldnt take the earache!

[Borderbmw]

[Borderbmw]

weird,basically it was do you have paypal? or prefer cash/cheque as id like your unit as ive tested mine and i think one of the relays is knackered as it just crackles when i operate the key

[Borderbmw]

Quick isnt the word,i must say our postmen round are pretty quick once they get anything for me!
Im slowly rebuilding/restoring a d plate 320i so ill be needing all sorts of stuff but its gonna be slow going for a while until i get a new job.
many thanks once again.

[dazleeds]

also have most electric stuff from the 325 ive just knakd so anything you want mate just yell

trying to find a decent early shell complete if you know of any??dnt want to waste the 323 engine its far too sweet to let go of
also plannig a 2.7 conversion at some point soon for my 320ise in pic also got another 320ise h plate but water pump snapped havent stripped yet so dnt know how bad head is might have to do a swap its all go mate like you im on dole at moment but keeping busy with the strippin and tryng to sort my car good luck with the rebuild mate the early cars are better in my oppinion just gotta find a minter Daz

ps how did you get ya postman to be quick??? was it a quiet word in his ear??

[Borderbmw]

He's quick because i look after his merc 190 E for him,and im cheap ,but thats another story ,he normally wakes me up at about 7.30am if im not up already (and i dont mean he rolls over and nudges me!)

[dazleeds]

ooohh eerrrr i hope not mate lol

lucky to see the same 1 2days in a row here it a nightmare they good with letters no faults but not so good with parcels lol never mind its all fun Daz

[Borderbmw]

So they say! im not convinced its fun tho !

While i think of it,you have'nt got any pre-facelift fog light have you?

[dazleeds]

[dazleeds]

just looked drivers side has crack on inside of lens but not leaking or filling with water and only notice up close will do em cheap if your interested Daz

[Borderbmw]

Im definately interested,you wouldnt have the switch etc also would you? doesnt matter if you havent mate

[dazleeds]

hiya mate

yes ive got the switches etc just send me the list of all the bits you need and ill sort it no problem mate Daz

[Borderbmw]

Well.......i need everything to install then really as i dont already have them,so i guess:

Pair of fogs
Short looms (Ive been told the basic loom is already there?)
Brackets/clips etc(if possible)
Dash switch
Relay
And anything else you can think of mate really(no doubt ive missed something?)

Cheers daz

[dazleeds]

when you say short looms

do you mean the wires from the back of the fogs or does your car have these??

and just checking you def need the early type fogs?? not l;ater facelift fogs you want chrome bumper fogs Daz
will do everything you need for Ԛ£40. plus post at cost hows that Daz

[Borderbmw]

yes mate,its a chrome bumper model(albeit painted chrome bumper),im pretty sure its the short wires to the fogs.

Could i be cheeky mate,could you keep hold of them as i cant afford them this week,but should be okay next week(unless someone else wants them?)

Thats a top price once again mate

[dazleeds]
