Hi all,
I have a 1994 1.6 Golf, whos central locking has just failed on me. Can open the doors manually but there is no sound of any motor as if it is trying to open the locks.
This may help with why it happened....
I was replacing the cigarrette lighter housing so I pulled the dash off so I could see what I was doing (didnt want to yank anything off by accident), when I moved the dash forward a bare wire must have made contact with the chassis, as a few sparks went off. All the electrics are fine apart from the cig lighter now doesnt work and the central locking failed after this. Not sure if its related but it happened at that point.
Again not sure if its related but I checked all the fuses and they all look ok.
Please help!
Thanks
Gareth
