Forrest 35 Report post Posted October 26, 2008 under the driverside speaker, there is a little plastic cover, take that off and unscrew with the two screws sitting on the alloy panel. im a pro at failing central locking lol kinda.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
williams 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2008 after u have checked the relay make sure u secure it again-the right way up,as this works in an accident to unlock the doors(if they were locked)and if u just fit it back upside down then it can cause the central locking servos to try and unlock the whole time causing them to burn out!!

e30plz 1 Report post Posted October 26, 2008 You should also check the wires that come out of your drivers door, I found a couple of my wires had broken from being caught in the door many times, I just soldered them back up and magic, all the central locking works again..
