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.

If the security/pump module under the foam in the trunk gets wet then you can expect problems. Take it out, dry it and clean the plug/socket terminals and hope it can be salvaged. they cost $200 to $300 used on eBay and $600 plus new.

 

Thanks for response.
Just to be sure: there is only 1 security module in trunk used for all latches, am I right?

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 . . .

 

Thanks for help, I will try t do this today and let you know result.


Mine one is SRT-6

 

Look here for information . . .

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 . . .

So how are you making out on this??

 

I would not use that stuff at all as it dries and becomes like glue and you will not be able to take the plate off again without causing damage. I used it as a gauge to determine the thickness of the gaps all around. I put it on, bolted down the plate and then took of the plate and it was quite hard to get the plate off.
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.

 

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

I don't think you are going to salvage that central locking pump. You should see this part number on your pump . . .

1708000848

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 . . .

 

What post do you recommend?

 

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.

 

AGREED . . . both of those are good threads with lots of information and photos . . .

 

Hi,

I need one more advice: I found 1 central locking module from Crossifre 3.2 V6 / 2006 (see photo in attachment).
Will it fit to my SRT-6?
Or only way is to check number 1708 000848 on module itself?
Thanks for reply.

As far as know ( or have read ), there is no difference between the one's for the NA and SRT6.

 

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.

 

It looks like I now have this problem. The big question I have is...how do you open the rear hatch if the system failed when it was locked!

 

They are the same parts.

 

That's a good question. EDITED . . . I don't know . . .
