hi my car wont open with central locking have to use the key to open but it locks with central locking i can here a click when trying to open but wont work
The central locking means if you lock the door of the driver side by the key from outside or from inside then all the four doors and the boot door gets locked. And inversely if you open then all doors open. Key less entry is a bit advanced version of this wherein you don't have to turn the key to lock or unlock. In this a small console is fitted inside the car and you get a remote key chain with buttons for locking and uncloking. You press the button for locking and the all the doors lock and similarly unlock as well.
I have had this problem. The central locking system checks that all of the doors are closed when it is activated. So it has a loop of wires that goes through all the doors (when the doors are closed the loop is complete and the central locking stays locked) What is happening is, some of the wires in the loop have snapped, his happens in the doors, (if you look in the door when it is open, on the hinge side, you will see a black rubber tube that contains the wiring). All of the door wiring will need to be checked and broken wires repaired - this should solve the problem.
Doors are not locking and the dashboard says boot open whenever the ignition key is turned on
unlock the doors and then push the button on the trunk. If the trunk lock key slot is horizontal you will need to use the key to turn it vertical. Then it will function with the central locking system
Problems with falcons is usually the door lock actuators. they fail all the time. to diagnose. use key to lock doors. once locked, see which one will unlock by trying to open the door. if any of the doors open, the one that opens will be crook. ie, i had a car come in last week. Using the remote, the doors would lock and then unlock straight away so really the car wouldn't lock. i used the key and they all stayed locked but when i went to open the left hand front door, it unlocked the rest of the car. problem was the left hand front door lock actuator.
if you hold the key in the lock position it will close the window also held in the open position it will open the window
If your having trouble locking your doors with the infrared key then you can look all the doors by the trunck. Just simply insert key and turn to the right to lock or turn to the left to open.
I am not sure. I have pressed the remote on my keys, but none of the car doors open. I have already had the battery replaced on the remote, which was flat, but when pressed, the doors still won't open. What do I do/
You will find one of your door locks is defective, with the doors all shut and you inside try to lock and open each door at a time and you will find one that is stiff or notchy to operate, that will be the defective one. You will probably find if you lock that one manually the central locking will lock the rest but don't leave it too long to replace the door lock/mechanism or you will end up with a door that will not open from inside or out like me. Anyone know how to get mine open ?
Check the fuse that controls central locks; replace if defective.
