Central Locking Failure

Over the past few weeks, my central locking has been fading.

The motors still work properly, the immobiliser activates and deactivates correctly, the hazards flash how they're supposed to when i push the button on the remote.

What DOESN'T happen is the doors unlocking from the remote. I can unlock both doors with the key, the drivers side does both and the passenger just does that side. The switch for the passenger door on the drivers arm rest works and both sides operate correctly when you're in the car.

It's as if the signal is getting to the immobiliser but not the locks.

Does anyone have any suggestions? The problem was happening intermittently and is now an 'all the time' affair.

Thanks in Advance,

Adrian

The alarm solenoid 'piggybacks' the normal central locking. Its simply held in place by a screw that locks onto the existing arm. Sometimes the screw works loose.

Pull the trim off the driver's door and reset the alarm solenoid.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
