Another central locking thread. No doors lock from fob and only drivers side w/ key

[Connor H]

As title! I did search but no threads contained this specific circumstance...anyway;

I didnt realise until getting my fob sorted today, that my doors have not been locking.

-If i use the key manually in the drivers side, only the drivers side locks.

-The fob activates the alarm all good, but no doors lock

-If i lock the drivers side manually, then the fob does not unlock it.

What is this a symptom of? Drivers side motor or something else?

Any fuses worth checking?

Thanks in advance
Connor

Anyone?....

Hard to say, probably ther drivers door lock module and possibly the others as well. Modules are a common fault, so maybe the previous owner didn't ever replace any as they failed. Could also be problems with the wiring loom where it passes through the doors, another fairly common failure point.
VCDS can scan the central locking module, so that might point you in the right direction.
Could also be a fuse although i'm not sure which one, best to check them all before you start replacing anything.

Does the button inside the car work to lock the doors

I just had it scanned and nothing came up to do with locks. Quite confusing when there’s no error codes to start looking into. I have no idea what it could be, probably going to have to leave in the garage for then to rummage around in

No it doesn’t, except the boot

Was it scanned with VCDS though, other code readers that can do engine, airbags and brakes can't read the locks.

I’ll have to double check. I know he’s got multiple readers but I personally wouldn’t know visually what one is what. Thanks for the heads up mate.

Sounds like the comfort module to me. You can get one for £30 off eBay

Yep just looking now! Seems to be a couple of variants but there’s some labelled for the non R version that should hopefully fit.

Did you manage to solve your problem. I have the same problem like yours on my seat ibiza.

No I didn’t, I had it scanned with VCDS and no faults showed. I’ve been made aware it’s likely a broken wire somewhere (aka anywhere)

Try replacing the drivers door lock module. https://www.autodoc.co.uk

It is the only module that works. If it is faulty will affect the other modules?
