Central locking not functional
Central locking not functional
Hi all,
I met some troubles using remote control to lock-unlock the doors-driver,passanger,back. I can do it only manually with key, now.
I checked all fuses and relays in underhood area and they are OK.
Is there any other fuse block related to power locks in car?If, yes, please let me know where.
Or do you have any other ideas? The truth is that I found some wet in rear trunk but I am not sure if there is some connection with failure.
Thanks for any response.

Re: Central locking not functional
Let us know what you have . . . SRT6? coupe? roadster? so we can help you locate and seal up the leak area that allowed water into the rear of your car . . .
In any case, this is where you need to start. If the rear of the car has been getting wet, your Security System Module & the Central Locking Pump likely has been flooded (and probably is still under water because once water gets into that pocket it does not drain out by itself . . ). Take off the rear trim panel in your trunk and take off the right side trunk trim panel. Lift out the styrofoam piece and you'll see the area (as pictured below) that you need to check. If it's full of water open up a drain plug and drain it out. Review further information in the post link below. Open up the central locking module and try to dry it out. Also get yourself some dielectric silicone compound grease. Clean up all the connectors and apply dielectric grease to the connections before reconnecting the wiring harnesses.
More information can be found here . . .
Headlight headache...do you have water in you trunk?
Start with this. Complete checking this area / drying everything out / cleaning all the connectors and applying the dielectric grease before reconnecting the wiring. When you have done all that let us know the status . . .

ALSO remove the wing mounting plate as the seal on that plate is likely deteriorated (or often found to be misaligned during factory installation) . . .
I have found this type of seal putty to work great in resealing the wing mounting plate . . .

The stuff is not that sticky but the area of contact is quite a bit so it all adds up to a strong bond.
Also do not use silicone sealant, as if either fails to seal you will be unable to take it apart again.

That is not the post that best explains and solves the leakage problem.
Re: Central locking not functional
Hi all,
I took out Security System Module & the Central Locking Pump it was flooded as you suggested. I dried it out but tried but without any success. It is not working at all (just turn signals are working during pushing of button on key).
I gave this module to some specialist in order to repair it but I am not sure he will be able to do so?
Please, check photos and let me know your opinion.
Thanks

Be sure the replacement has that same part number. There are several new ones and a couple of used ones currently on E-Bay. This would currently appear to be your best bet for a used one (although I think you can do better on the price if you can be patient in your search) . . .

Be sure to clean up all the connectors and then I suggest coating the connections with silicone dielectric compound to prevent future corrosion.

You may also need to replace the security module which you'll find mounted on a bracket above and to the rear of the vacuum pump. Take that out, open it up and see what it looks like. Again be sure that a replacement has the same part number on it. Here are a few currently on E-Bay . . .

Use the down time to clean up that "well" (suggest using Foaming Bubbles with bleach) and then after it has all been cleaned and thoroughly dry, spray on a protective coating in the well. I've used Dupli-Color truck bed liner spray when I've gotten into that well area.
Also, of course, determine the source and seal the leak is that allowed water into your trunk area . . .
Good luck and please continue to let us know your progress . . .

Re: Central locking not functional
This one.........
and this one.
The leaks can come from various places and the water ends up in the well and ruins the module.
The water can come from the spoiler mounting posts, the seal around the spoiler mounting plate and the gas cap surround.

Re: Central locking not functional
I think they are all the same (NA or SRT6) but I still suggest that you verify the matching part number on the unit itself before purchasing it.

Re: Central locking not functional
That's a good question. EDITED . . . I don't know . . .
