Could I install keyless entry and locking in an 89 mercedes 300E with central locking?
My 89 300E has central locking but I was wondering if I could install a power locks thing on my car. how much do you think it would cost?|||Possible but not easy. Lots of time consumption.|||You might find an aftermarket auto electronics store to do it for you. If they do you might have electrical issues afterward.
Central locking not working.opened car manually and fuse box is clicking constant. Can't find a burned fuse?
i really don't know what it is. when i take out the fuse that is labelled ALIM UCH the ticking stops. I don't think my alarm works anyway on the car. Also the car won't even start. is there some problem with the engine managment system?|||it is not the fuse box clicking it is a relay switch near the fuse box..
check your car manual for the label that says ALIM UCH, this is no engine problem maybe this is worn/shorted wiring that needs to be fixed|||please indicate year make and model and i might be able to help you|||Try replacing the battery.... the clicking could well be the system trying to come online but due to lack of power it is unable too.|||The clicking sounds is the relay, you need to find which one it is and by the sound for thing replace it.
Ja.|||In my car, the central locking wouldn't work and the engine wouldn't start because I'd left my lights on and drained the battery. Maybe check the battery and charge it if necessary.|||has is said it's a relay put your finger on each one in turn and you will find the bad one(no you won't get a shock)|||Sounds as if the central locking/alarm/immobiliser unit is fried. Suggest a qualified mechanic with renault experience|||The clicking noise is most likely a relay... when you pull the fuse, it kills the power to that relay (black square box @ 1"x1"). Find the relay that's clicking, and start by replacing that. Good Luck!|||The clicking from the fuse box will definately be a relay, track it down and change it. There's nothing in a fuse that could click.

I own a VW Polo a while ago my central locking went in my drivers door and now my passenger door!can you help?
I cannot now open either of my doors, and my options are to either leave the car unlocked OR lock the doors and climb through the boot to open my drivers door! i changed a fuse for the central locking, but this did not help! Can anybody suggest anything else? Many Thanks|||2 small paddles that fasten to door lock barrels have broken .These operate central locking triggers in either door.If you can get the paddles from a scrap yard they can be replaced but its a right fiddly job.remove door inner panels undo door catch mechanism from the edge of the door then undo door handle remove door handle and you will see the paddle about 2 inch long its held in place by a horseshoe clip and spring pressure(right bi*ch to put back together) then you have to reassemble the handle and lock mechanism back in the door both at the same time or they wont mate up then replace door inner panel and trim.Good luck I did my daughters last week a right bas*ard job|||Many cars that have a command switch to operate all windows and door lock from the driver's.

My remote central locking is not working properly. It will lock but not open. what could be the problem?
It will lock but not open. I can hear the flick in the car like it trying to open and the lights turn on but the car stays locked unless I open the car manually. What is the problem?|||Start by changing your remote battery.It uses less power to lock the system than unlock it,hope this helps(make and year of car will get you a better answer)|||Depends on what car? if it clicks then the motor is working, what you have to do is get next to the car operate the remote and you should see the button bounce, if it does this then the door trim needs to come off and free the arm that feeds the door opening pin with oil and make sure the vapour sheet and door trim go on correct, so the pin can pop up.
Hope this helps.|||try reprogramming your key. Look in the manual and it should tell you. I had similar problem my central locking wouldnt work but i could open and shut doors with manual key. Then reprogrammed key and now it works fine. Try doing this before taking it to anyone as it will cost you money to do this.

Fitting central locking and alarm on ford fiesta 02 reg?
Hi People!
I would like to know how I can go about to have a central locking and alarm fitted on my car, is it a diffcult and costly process? how much would it cost to have this done by garage compared to dealer ship. If possible how easy is it to fit myself?|||first of all dont worry about the alarm no one will steal it incase it breaks down on the way Fixed Or Repaired Daily but if it is an 2002 plated car did you no that All cars built after 1998 must have a standard alarm system fitted when being built also an imobiliser system with chip in your ignition key and central locking so alarm and imoboliser works properly well it is in england anyway|||Why? Who do you think's gonna bother nicking a Fiesta? But seriously, alarm's an easy job but central locking'll cost you more than the car's worth.

Central locking & alarm bo not work. What can i try.The car got river damage?
The car is rover 416|||hi there it sounds as water has got into central locking system as the central locking activates alarm when locked depending how bad river damage and how high water covered car ir could be relay or drivers door switch check your fuse box for blown fuse if not check for water at fuse box also try drying units with hairdryer hope this helps you jock|||Check that nothing is fouling propellor.|||Get the car checked out by a professional, sounds like an electrical short somewhere.|||look, no one is going to steal a rover 416... i'll bet the doors still lock manually, and an alarm can be refitted... just get a kids cycle lock, the twisted cable type, wrap it around the seat base and then thru the steering wheel... theyre very difficult to remove, and at five quid it doesnt get any cheaper...

I cannot lock my car with the key from the outside. (not central locking)?
I have a W reg VW polo (Mark III facelift 00-02) and i recently installed some new speakers,finished that job but then i noticed that the front drivers door lock doesnt work properly.
Basically i cant lock the drivers door with the key from the outside, however i can unlock it with the key from the outside. The door still locks from the inside so the barrel cant be broken.
Is the lock broke or have I just knocked something off when messing around with the speakers??|||The linkage from the key to the locking mechanism probably needs to be adjusted. It is reached by removing the panel from the inside of the door.|||Well there's no way you can fix the lock without getting to it.
If this was my car, i'd take the door panels off the inside of each door.
Look at both of them, the door that locks properly is what your other door should look like.
What you see that's different is what is wrong with it.

How can i open my car door if the Central Lock not working?
When I used my remote control to unlock my car today, it doesnt work, then i tried to use my spare remote control. It is still not working.
If I use my key to open the door directly, the security alarm would active (beep). cos i cant use the remote control to unlock it.
Now my car is still in my friend's car park and i cant drive my car to repair~~ anyone tell me how to do pls|||Isn't technology great?
If you unlock it by using the key, as soon as you start the car, the alarm should turn off.
Otherwise, have it towed to your dealer.|||Open the car with your key. Your alarm will sound. Open the hood and find a power wire to your alarm system and disconnect the alarm.
Many times, that would be enough to get you going. If the alarm is design so that it would disable the car if disconnected, then you have to find the wire that grounds the power to distributor (or whatever else it does to disable the car). But at least with the alarm disconnected you'll have breathing time to work on the car.|||First you should try replacing the batteries in the remotes. they are simple watch batteries found at pretty much any watch store. If that doesn't work then just open the hood (the alarm will go off unfortunaly) and undo the battery cables and accessory cables. That should kill the power to the alarm. Then only put the main battery cables( the two big ones) back on with out the accessory cables. That will get the car to start and the alarm will be unpowered. You can then take it to a repair shop and have them look at the alarm system.|||Is this a factory installed or after market alarm system. Does your key have a chip in it to start the car? If it is factory then you open the door with the key you have so long to start it before the alarm goes off. You might just have a dead battery in your car to.(Not enough volt/current) to activate the locks and start the car.But the alarm will still go off.

Problem with the central locking on my 307?
I can unlock my 307 with the button as normal, when i open the drivers door, the whole car locks itself so once inside the car i have to unlock the other doors. When opening the car door like i said it locks itself so the car inside light goes off which is really not good when it's dark.
Any ideas on the cost to fix this or just any help or advise really.
Many thanks

Are power locks on a car the same as central locking? ie. remote locking.?
power locks would be the same as central locking. could be very minor differences. on some cars the drivers button will lock all the doors and some will have that feature on the passenger door also. remote locking usually refers to a remote control of some type so you can lock and unlock your car once you are outside of it. hope this helped.|||Power locking is sometimes referred to as dead locking.

How do I lock my ford KA collection manually? The central locking is a bit hit and miss.?
When I put the key in the lock on both doors it tends to lock and unlock itself, always ending up unlocked. I am worried i will end up somewhere unable to lock my car and need an alternative.
If I removed the fuse for central locking would I be able to lock the doors manually with the key? Or is there a way to lock the car from the inside?
I have taken it to a garage and now it does it less often but is still a problem.
Please help!|||Removing the fuse turns the central locking "off" you then should be able to lock it with the key.

Fixing central locking for a Suzuki Swift 2005?
I have remote central locking, and just recently a loud noise has started inside of the front passenger door every time i lock my car. yesterday i unlocked my car and all doors except for the front passenger door unlocked. i am unable to manually unlock the lock from the inside aswell! does anyone have any ideas of what may be wrong? i have checked the battery inside of my remote and that is all good.|||Sounds like you have a problem where the electronic solenoid attaches to the door lock mechanism. The actuator may have come adrift or broken away. You might be able to wind the window all the way down and try to access the lock actuator from the gap at the top of the door, sometimes removing the external weatherstrip can improve access and basically try to break into your own car.
Ive seen this happen before and the guy had to tear into the inside door panel to gain access to the internal door lock mechanism.

My car boot does not open with the central locking key this is mercedes e270 what is the problem?
Bad key? Bad lock?
Someone will have to diagnose the problem to know for sure.|||Unlock or open specifically?
There's a number of possible solutions to this or what it could be depending upon the specific spec/age of your E class. So I'll try and cover all of them.
Has it ever opened, rather than unlock, with the remote?
If it has opened using a specific button on your remote then try changing the batteries in the remote. If this doesn't work then there is a problem with the system. Or some security setting is in play (see below).
If it is supposed to unlock, but not open, with all of the other doors, then is your system in the mode that requires one press to unlock the driver door and then a second press to unlock the rest. 2 presses are required to unlock the boot.
If this still doesn't unlock the boot with all of the other doors then you may have to try different lock positions. This is done by inserting the key physically in the boot lock and trying it in all of the positions where it allows you to remove the key after doing so. Many boot locks have a setting to allow you to set them independently of the central locking system. Difficult to describe without a diagram but it may be horizontal key position. Just try all that it lets you do.
This may also be a solution if you do have a boot button on your remote.
There could also be something resembling a catch that has to be physically switched, something like a child lock catch, on the boot catch. Many manufacturers offer extra security facilities on boots with central locking systems to prevent boot raiding when waiting at lights.
I'm sure you will be able to find some solution in all this. Either that or decide that you need something fixing.|||could be same as bmw's different button on key fob opens the boot

Any ideas about central locking on an 02 Clio Expression?
Both the keys for my clio have started playing up and dont always open or lock my car. I got a new battery put in one however its still a bit hit or miss!
However when i lock my car using the actual key it doesnt lock all the doors - i found this a touch strange as it has remote central locking so why isnt the central locking working? The button inside to lock the doors works fine so im baffled as to why its not working.
Has anyone had this problem or know whats causing it and how to repair it? Advice on the keys would be great as well.
Thanks|||Most car companies use the driver's door lock as a switch for the central locking.
Renault don't - they fit a separate switch on the dashboard (probably low on the central console, has a picture of a padlock on it).
Therefore, if you lock/unlock the car with the key, you only lock or unlock that one door. You need to use the internal switch or the remote to operate the central locking.|||It may be as simple as the key fob battery needs changing. But being that both keys don't work you should just take it to the dealer and they will sort it. Normally its a prob with the setting of the car security electrcs. All they will do is reset it for you and it should work fine.
French cars eh

Synchronising remote central locking, seat arosa?
Hi,
Remote central locking on the Misses Arosa has stopped working... I have replaced the battery and gone through the Sync process as described in the manual, but still not working. Any ideas?
I have checked that the battery is ok (getting the flashing light on key plus tested the batt in another key for my car), so that is fine, also checked fuses in car, central locking all works fine when turning key...just not remote.
Suspect something to do with the sync, but not sure. Thanking you in anticipation|||If the process in the manual is not working then you will need a Seat dealer to sort it for you.
Doublecheck manual process and try it with ignition off and ignition on.

Central locking on cars........ can you get a similar type of lock for your house front door?
It's possible they are sold for residential application, though I haven't seen one yet.
The "monitoring" might not strictly be neccesary, but certainly in a commercial sense there are varieties. One on my job sites uses a Mag Lock system, but has to be activated with a "FOB" (key) scanned over a sensor. The locking mechanism itself is pretty simple; just an electro magnet/plate, approx. 3 x 6? That has been as effective as any I've seen.
Certainly there might also be garage door opener types, or servo motor types, as well, but I can't see the economy in any. Beyond that, any system that depends on electricity would depend on that electricty being "ON" 24/7. In the case of many systems, you might either have NO access, if "locks" remained so, in a power failure, OR, your House would be completely UN locked in any power outages.
Then one more, which I find totally inefficient/ Key card keys, as used in hotels.
Of course you could spend more and get a Finger print scanner device, or a retinal scanner.
On a light hearted note, related to the future of technology, there was a recent TV ad that showed Voice activation technology, not yet available.

The "monitoring" might not strictly be neccesary, but certainly in a commercial sense there are varieties. One on my job sites uses a Mag Lock system, but has to be activated with a "FOB" (key) scanned over a sensor. The locking mechanism itself is pretty simple; just an electro magnet/plate, approx. 3 x 6? That has been as effective as any I've seen.
Certainly there might also be garage door opener types, or servo motor types, as well, but I can't see the economy in any. Beyond that, any system that depends on electricity would depend on that electricty being "ON" 24/7. In the case of many systems, you might either have NO access, if "locks" remained so, in a power failure, OR, your House would be completely UN locked in any power outages.
Then one more, which I find totally inefficient/ Key card keys, as used in hotels.
Of course you could spend more and get a Finger print scanner device, or a retinal scanner.
On a light hearted note, related to the future of technology, there was a recent TV ad that showed Voice activation technology, not yet available. The fun example was a young lady, arms full, hand holding a cup of beverage, apparently going to work, saying "Doors Open". Of course they didn't and the coffee ended up on the young lady who ended up spilled onto the entry walk.

I have lost the key to my car! I still have he zappy bit that opens the doors (central locking)?
and it also disables the alarm so I can do that. Just no ignition key.
The car is a rover 216 and is quite old probably not worth more that æ‹¢800 or maybe less!
Anyone any ideas? Don't have a spare. Thanks|||%26gt;%26gt; Don't have a spare.
Just amazing.... Why this world doesn't come to complete stop...

Call a locksmith or a mechanic and get the ignition lock cylinder changed. That is going to cost you about $100 dollars (give or take).

Car central lockin problem?????????????????????/?
i have posted this question twice as the answers i got cannot be the answer
the battery in the remote is not dead
i have just tried to open my car via the central locking and it does not work and when i open it via
the key the alarm goes off which i know will happen but it lets me start the car up its just the central locking wont let me open the car or lock it???
what to do???
whats wrong with the central locking??
its very cold here at the moment and icey could that be it??
i was told the central locking sensors could be frozen???
how much will it cost 2 fix???|||If you cannot get the answer here despite posting it twice then I really would suggest you phoning an Audi dealership.
Explain the problem to them and they will offer proper advice.|||Dono abt the cost.

and explain ur prob|||I used to own an Audi, and I can tell you that to have one repaired costs about 3 times what other makes would cost for the same problem..|||Hello
A couple of questions
You do not say how many keys you have and if this problem is with one or both of them?
If you can check in your owners Manual if you have one
Did this start happening after you changed the Fob Battery?
If yes.
1, You may have had the battery out to long ((My Vectra has Max of 30 Seconds) If this is the problem the spare should still work) so it has now got to be Re-matched to the Car, Sit in car, Doors shut, Switch On ignition (You now have 10 Seconds) and press either Lock or Unlock button on the Fob and release. If the Central Locking now cycles by locking and unlocking the doors you have fixed it.
2, You may have dropped the chip from inside the Fob (If this is the problem the spare should still work) You will need to get the Fob re-chipped.
If you have done nothing and this started unexpectedly then check the Central Locking Main fuse Mine is by itself and 30 Amp rated on the Fuse Box inside the car, Central Locking will still work on key but that should also switch off the alarm.
In either case the Immobiliser will not be affected as that is on a different system and is switched off when you push key into the ignition and is not part of the chip system.
Hope this helps

Where can I get the central locking on my car repaired today (Sunday)?
I have a Nissan Micra and can't get the doors to lock. The key fob won't do anything, however when I'm inside the car I can lock all the doors by pressing the lock/unlock button beside the hand brake. Last night my husband tried to lock it using the key fob, it eventually locked but then it wouldn't open! Finally got it opened by using the key in the secret keyhole thingy that I foud when reading through the manual. The battery was changed in the key fob just last week. Also there is a little red light that flashes on the fob when pressed, maybe its always been there and I've never noticed. Anyone any ideas please??|||Sounds like you need a new key. If you google 'replacement key fobs' or similar, you will find numerous companies that can come out to you, cut a new key and program the fob to your vehicles immobilisor. From memory, expect to pay @ æ‹¢80 for one key. As it's a kind of 'emergency service', i'm sure they will come out to you on a sunday.|||Start with the obvious thing, have you replaced the battery in the key fob?

98 Nissan Micra Central locking problem. Can anyone help?
Hi there My Dad has a 98 Nissan Micra. The problem is. When I try to lock or open the car with the remote central locking button ( button is seperate from the key. Not part or the key ) it just locks and then unlocks the car instantly. But when I use the Key in the drivers door lock the central locking works fine. It they anything I can do to get the Central locking working again through the remote. Thank you all for reading. Hope someone can help. Cheers.|||hi there it seems there is a fault in one of the lock solenoids or wire leading to itwhen you lock car with key check all lockes to see if they are locked especially the boot and if it has one the petrol cap lockif one of the solenoids does not work when trying to lock car then it sends a signal to the relay which tells the relay to unlock doors and if it is the boot lock or petrol cap lock that is not working then just disconnet it until replaced and you can use your remote control jock

Can you get replacement central locking fobs for cars?

Citroen Saxo Can anyone help with central locking?
Car locks fine. But when you unlock it, it locks itself straight away. Does this with the key fob, with the key in the lock and when unlocking with door pin. |||98% you do not have any faults with your central locking. If you did then you would be having problems both locking and unlocking your car.
This is a very common classic saxo problem, as any decent mechanic can tell you.
What has happened to your car is that the actual handle mechanism is starting to freeze up due to corrosion on its return spring. This causes it not to return its link rod to the locking mechansim to its full stop position, so the lock thinks that someone is trying to open that door handle all the time.
This problem can be fixed with no new parts and without removing any of the door cards. (besides, only an idiot would remove all the door cards just to find the fault!).
The handles can be removed from the outside by drilling out the rivets that hold them, prise them up and out from the car and then unclip the link rod to the lock. Then spray the handle pivot with copious amounts of WD40 and repeatedly open and close it a LOT of times. Eventually it will spring closed by itself when you open it (i know it already does this on the car, but it is not the handle spring but rather the lock spring that is doing this. Once you remove the handle from the car you will see that when opened it does not spring back.) Once the handle can spring closed by itself you should coat the pivot and spring with copper grease and refit with new rivets.
To give you an indication I can remove the rear door handles in 16 seconds and the front ones in just under 1 minute (they are slightly more awkward). The rear handles are usually the first ones to give bother as they are used the least.|||Hi
One of your central locking units is faulty,to find out which one it is you will need to remove all the door cards and unplug them one at a time till it locks and stays locked,sometimes when you have a fault with central locking you can hear the faulty lock operating it will keep clicking

Do I have any rights if my car was falsely advertised with central locking ?

Give this a try if you are cheap (like me) and don't want to shell out for a new actuator.
(This is made a lot easier with a Haynes manual)
1) Remove the door panel
2) Remove the door lock positioning element
3) On the top you will see a couple wires going into a switch, the switch needs to come out (this is the door locking micro switch) one contact controls "lock" and the other controls "unlock"
4) Check the conductivity of both contacts with an ohm meter
5) If there is no conductivity when you lightly press either of the switches you found your problem.
6) The switch can be further disassembled to expose the tiny spring contacts, give them a shot a break cleaner then some WD-40
7)Celebrate your savings with a cold beer (Or drink of choice)
This fixed mine and I have had no problems since.

Central Locking Has Stopped Working On Corsa - Can't Lock Car?
I flattened my battery dead today by leaving the lights on. I got a jumpstart and it started ok, but I did notice a strange whirring noise. Anyway, now I can't lock the car at all. The key goes in, but won't turn at all to the right to centrally lock.
I've checked fuses, which seem ok. Could it have burnt the locking system out? or could it be to do with the battery being flattened?
It's S reg.|||it isnt the central locking system each door has its own motor for locking so they wouldnt burn out at the same time its got to be the battery it sounds like a problem with the altenator which should charge the battery when the engine is running its that or a duff battery wont be that costly|||i flattened the battery on my n reg corsa a few weeks ago, had to drive 30 miles home, with the constant loud shrieking. yes the battery needs to be fully charged before the central locking will work again, a good guide to charging a battery back to full charge, is to ride around for about 30 minutes, and not use anything electrical in the car, this way the battery charges quicker.|||The battery needs to be fully charged for the central locking to work, I imagine it hasnt got enough charge.

Why Does my central locking actavate when i simply close the door sometimes?
i have a corsa 95 and sometimes when i close the drivers door the central locking engages locking the car, its really annoying as i might lock my keys in there one day, can anyone help|||Probably the best thing to do is pull off the door card and check the wires on the central locking, probably a wire is coming into contact with the door when you slam it shut.
Ja.|||It's probably a bad switch in the door that causes this problem, assuming it's only one door that causes this, or a short in the door wiring. I'm betting it's the switch. but it could be wither. You'll probably have to take the interior door panel off to check. You can try gently tapping the switch or around the switch with your fist or palm before you take everything apart. Also, if you can remove the shield that protects the wiring from the frame of the car to the door where the hinges are, give those wires a good shake and see if that causes the doors to lock.
