Sounds like the locking motor has gone in the door just need to go to your local adio shop and get a new one.

Very easy do to. You don't even need to buy the kit with the 'master' and 'slave' actuators, just buy 2 cheap slaves & splice the loom on the drivers door. Connect BLUE/RED to the GREEN wire and the BLUE/BLACK to the BLUE on the actuators. They are all coloured coded the same, no matter what the brand.

If I can do it, anyone can :thumleft:

My replacement has been working flawlessly for years.

I've just been lazy but both actuators failed at the same time. Changed the relay did nothing.

I'm guessing its a faulty with my alarm or am I missing something? I can get the actuators to lock, but then unlocks by itself. So the actuators go out in then no matter what I do, then I gave up :)

Tried hooking up the actuators again and still it's doing the same thing. I have no clue about alarms so I don't know what I am doing.

I reckon I knocked something causing the central to screw up.

I got the wiring diagram for my alarm. Does the actuators hook up direct to the module or triggers some factory system??

Refer to http://www.autoelectric.ru/autoalarm/co ... a/ca-m.htm

Gimme a rough guide what to do???

Also alarm does not go off when doors open. Something to do with the door sensor to alarm issue?

its a negative lock system bt your manual doesnt show the diagram for it.......

Any way look at Fig 1 and the two wires that are unused should be used instead of the ones that are, these coonect into the wires that go to central locking relay, you will need a test meter to find out what ones do what.

I assume you have replaced actual lock motors? these are just a straight swap out 2 wire connection

So there is a special relay in the FTO? These two wires will go straight to the relay?

correct its the centrel locking relay, sits under dash on drivers side, just remove panel under steering assembly (thinks its labelled to)
