Central Locking not working?

[mcuppercut]

My Central locking has decided not to work properly..

Basically, when I open it, the locks come up and then go immediately back down.
If I open the driver's door manually then I can open the passenger's using the central locking.

It works fine when locking the car

I thought it could of been the battery but it works when locking the car?

Any ideas?

Fuse?

[Biggie.]

Check the fuse or you can reset it but pressing buttons whilst holding the break? cant really remmeber tho some1 will know

[mcuppercut]

How would i go about changing the fuse?

Just i wasnt sure cause it works when locking but not when opening?

[mcuppercut]

Anyone else had this problem?

get in the car turn the ignition on and press the lock button just as u have switched on the engine and it should reset it and work fine after that
i have done it and it has been working fine ever since

Instead of making a new thread I thought I'd bump this one, do you just have to press the lock button straight after you start the engine? How do you know of it's done anything?

my car does this no idea why, havnt found a soltuion yet.....

[patrickboyd]

Yer I'm a bit worried becuase I won't be able to unlock the petrol cap. It's o ly happened when I changed my door handles to colour coded ones so I'm not sure if something has come loose.

[adam.nov]

if you turn the key clockwise twice, does it not open everything ? ( doors, boot and petrol cap ) If it has central locking it should do

[patrickboyd]

Umm haven't tried that, but when I open it with the key once it opens fine and then I can press the unlock button to iBook everything, would that suggest it's just a problem the drivers door?

[patrickboyd]

iBook WTF?! Stupid iPhone! I meant unlock*

[adam.nov]

try turning it twice and see what happens. sounds like u have the same problem i got with my car........ foooked central locking !
