Alarm/central Locking

[Samuel Leonard]

First of all, i hope this isn't the wrong place for this discussion, i'm quite new to all this

I bought an R32 GTS-T about 6 months ago and after a month or so, the central locking stopped working with the alarm. i dis arm the alarm and the central locking must be unlocked by the key.

Both work fine seperately still as turning the key in my door unlocks the passenger door and the immobiliser/alarm still blinks when i push the button.

i am certain it did at one stage have remote central locking, i didn't dream that

I have looked for a fuse or anything anywhere but have no idea what i'm looking for and where i need to look? if you need specifics like alarm brand and stuff i can go check it out but i'm hoping it's a fairly general topic that doesn't vary too much.

Thanks heaps for your time,

Sam

thanks for the reply, but the central locking motors work fine when i turn the key. if i turn the key in the drivers door the lock still works on the passengers door. and same from locking and unlocking the drivers door inside the car i can see the passengers door lock and unlock.

any other suggestions?

The switch in the drivers door is working fine that is why the passenger door locks and unlocks when you turn the key, that is part of the car's factory central locking. The part that may be faulty would be the aftermarket actual central locking motor which would have been installed at time the when the aftermarket alarm was installed. This motor is contrlloed by the alarm system which locks and unlocks the drivers door, which then trips the switch in your factory central locking which we now still work, as you have explained.

Common problem and easy fix none the less....
