e30 central locking

Recommended Posts

Will unlock from both front doors and the boot, but won't lock from any - have to lock each door individually.

Is this the lock side of the control unit dead, or something else?

Loooked at the wiring diagram, but its not easy to troubleshoot why it would unlock but not lock.

Cheers

P.S. its areal pain in the arse as everytime you get in the car all the doors unlock, but when you get out you have to lock them all by hand. If it was the other way around it wouldn't be so bad.

IMO the lock motors sound stuffed although two at the same time is a big coincidence. Be thankful the barrels aren't stuffed!

You sure as it is a four door. You're telling me that six motors are stuffed (both fronts, boot and fuel cap). and that they all unlock but won't lock??? Or will two stuffed front motors cause none of them to work?

Sounds like either the Control in the drivers foot well, or adjust ment of the micro switch in the drivers door, has effect if not in the right place.

Also if the arm on the key barrell ( inside the door ) is broken it will not activate properly, have just fixed 1 car with this problem in the last 3 weeks.

Thanks Ian. I will pull out the control unit first, then start on the micro switches one at a time. Cheers.

Well after the last time I drank with Ian in Taupo, I don't think I'm safe anyway - hah.
