Hey,

Anyone had experience with operation of Mongoose M80 central locking option? I took my car to the mechanics yesterday and i believe that they have pressed the keyring fob buttons in some sequence to disable the central locking function.

The immobiliser still works the same, and the central locking works (if i use the key on the drivers door it drives the passenger door) but the remote central locking function does not.

does anyone know the code?

It looks like the central locking is working (if i use the key on the drivers side, the passenger side opens up) but the alarm is not sending a signal to the central locking unit.

anyone have any idea how these things are set up and what i shuold look for?

the M80 has on board central locking relay, there will be an actuator in the drivers door that is controled by the m80.

firstly i'd take the drivers door trim off and you should see either a set of blue and green wires of 5 wire system connecting to the actuator that pushes your locking arm forward and back make sure they are connected properly sometimes the window can pick up cable and disconnect. if all good then id disconnect the blue and green and use a test light and individualy test each wire for pulse while pushing the arm and disarm buttons. if no light when you do then then i'll tell you what next to do.

very rare for mongoose m60 or m80 to fault so id say it's the actuator but you can check the 2 10amp fuses on the m80 module aswell. there are 6 fuses in total wont hurt to check all but the central locking fuses are seperate to the main loom.

most the cars that come in with central locking problems have actuator problems, so let me know how you go or call me if you r having problems

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
