Front central locking stopped working!?

energycontent · Jun 3, 2010

Ok today I went down pressed unlock on the fob and everything worked appart from both front doors? They will open with the key and lock with the key and also pressing or lifting the door buttons inside, alarm still works to just central locking has stopped on both front doors???

Any ideas what this is? I looked and cant find a fuse either for the front doors only the back?
Its a 1996 P38?

Thanks for your help!

Check F9 & F22. Both feed the front door outstations via the BeCM.

Hi I had the same problem with mine had to have 2 new door activators I was told that when one goes it can take the other one with it

I don't know why both failed at the same time, but I can tell you that you probably need new actuators. I have the same problem on mine - both fronts are dead. I pulled one of the actuators apart to see if it was really defective, or if it was computer-related. Turned out the motor was burnt out. I've just got new ones and will install over the weekend.

Just replaced the front two on a 2.5DSE. The passenger side was superlocked and the drivers side had a burnt out motor.
Both latches are available from Island 4x4 (Genuine LR) @ £129.99 incl. VAT each + delivery.
