#15 of 21 Mystery over central locking system by arthur745

Oct 31, 2009 (7:05 pm)

I am pretty sharp on do-it-yourself repairs, especially electrical trouble-shooting. This one, however, is perplexing.
My car came back from the shop after some fuel system work, and the central locking only works on the driver side door and the tailgate on my 740 wagon. Aahhah, I said to no one in particular, it must be the relay. The relay diagram for the 740 shows the central locking relay next to the power window relay in the left front of the relay rack. Removed it. No change. Removed the relay NEXT to it, which the diagram shows as an empty space. No central locking at all. Mechanic says the solenoids are shot. Three at once?
Anyone have this problem, or know the relay number for central locking?

When I start this vehicle it sounds like its flooded, & it always feels like it's flooded while driving.
The check engine light is on, but I do not know how to retrieve the codes.
What would be the first step ,or the first things I should look for.
 
Thank you

I turned on my rear window wiper this morning, and it went one-half of a cycle and stopped. Thereafter, my brakelights have ceased to function. I've checked every fuse, all intact. Any suggestions? Thanks

Sounds like you lost the electrical connection to your tailgate. Look for a crimped/cut wire when you open it... or it may have developed a short within the tailgate.

Thanks, turned out to be a wiper motor failure that blew out the "bulb integrity relay." Have you heard of this, or did I get ripped off? Thanks again, Davy

It's certainly reasonable considering the wiper motor may have sent a spike when it blew.
