My Central Locking is Moody

The central locking on my 2000 Toledo TDi is a bit temperamental. Sometimes it locks and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it unlocks, sometimes it doesn't. There isn't a pattern to it. I have changed the battering in the fob but still the same old thing. It has been happening more frequently now. Anyone got any ideas?

Hello Mate, I sorted the problem with mine. Took the drivers door locking mechanism out and found dry joints on the PCB board within on mechanism on the plug connector.

So this sorted all the central locking but the only thing now is the drivers door doesn't stay locked. I think i need to reset the control module cause its confused it self as to what doors are doing what but don't know how too.

If you sort the mechanism let me know if you have the same issue afterwards. Im going to be trying to work out how to reset the control module if i work it out ill fill you in again.

No its dead easy, when you get the trim off there's two big black circle caps on the door that you remove then start winding the window down until you see the two bolts for the window. I then gaffa taped the window in place and undone the bolts this way i didn't have to that the window out.

The complete door fitting will all come out together

Glad i found this post as might try your solutions. I have a ibiza and sometimes it doesnt lock which is a bit annoying.

I haven't, it has been pee'ing with rain the last few days. The prospect of stripping the door panel has become quite a daunting prospect even though I have done it before. I also need to get a solder iron before I tackle it. I'll let you know when it is done and how it all turned out
