Central/Remote locking and opening not working

Post by x5e53 » Tue Aug 02, 2016 9:13 pm

Hi,

I took all the door cards off, therefore had to disconnect the switches etc, as I was upgrading the speakers and Headunit.

However, I have reconnected the switches, both rears and both fronts.
But now when I press lock or unlock on the remote fob, it simply opens the rear doors. The fronts do not open. I have to Manually open them and lock them with the key.

The electric folding mirrors have also stopped working (when I press the square button). The Window switches work.

Any Ideas?

First check fuses. Then remove the front window switches, unplug the replug. Only the other week my passenger door had that problem and it was one of the window swich plugs slightly corroded.
