Hey all!

The stupidest thing happened today!

My central locking has been stuffed for about a year now, Its just something i cant be bothered fixing! Got a bit of time off work, so I decided to give it a shot!

I'm lazy when it comes to electrics! I put in a replacement Central Locking ECU and also new relay! While I was at it I tested all the fuses under the dash and I found one blown.

I went to Jcars to look up their fuse diagram and i matched it up to the horn. So the fuse on the very top left of fuse box. Before I put in a new fuse I pressed the horn and it worked! I was going to smash my head against the wall because it should work!

Put in new fuse then my central locking starts working sort of again!

So that diagram in Jcar is wrong!!! Top left is for central locking!

How I finally have my central locking sort of working, I put in two actuators but they dont work right. The lever on it pushes straight out and straight back in when I press disarm on my keyfob.

Im crap with elecs what does that mean??

So imagine the actuator was connected to the lock rod the door. If door was locked, so lever near handle will be facing forward, I push disarm, the lever will full extend to unlock mode then spring back into lock mode. So bascially I cannot unlock the doors with key fob.

I tried other door same thing.

Would the relay make a difference? I noticed the original relay has 20A & 30A written on it. So I dont know what the hell that means. Couldnt match it up at repco so I bought one with a single rating of 30A.

Please help!

I think its the relay. I'll put the old one in and see what happens.

same thing!!

Could there be a possibility the relay is stuffed?

Is there anywhere else on the FTO with a Single Pole Double Throw relay?

can someone Caps me the part number please????

Im not sure if I changed it in the past! could have put in the wrong one!

Ive got a OEG Single pole double throw relay.

OARL-S-112DF
NO 30A/12DC
NC 20A/12DC

Thanks!

not really sure what the 30A and 20A means but it may mean ampere which basically is the amount of current flowing though.

The 12DC behind should indicate "12V direct current" which is opposed to alternating current of out home electricity.

A relay is usually a small device which turns on a huge current flow on one side when there's a small current flowing on the other. And there's always 5 electrodes which two should be connected to the "small current flowing sites" and the other 2 of 3 connected to the "huge current flow" side.
NO means when it is connected, the circuit is opened (normally opened), and NC means when it is connected, the circuit is closed (normally closed).. well, again, I am not sure whether you guys can understand.. Any more questions, I will try better or maybe to draw a graph to illustrate for easier understanding...

Cheers

Whereabouts is the relay located payaya? Electricals are a bastard to find in CAPS...
