central locking?
hi all, is there any chance that one of you clever bongo fans out there might know why my central locking has stopped working?. i have to unlock and lock each door separately now for some reason, cheers. STE
Re: central locking?
Most likely the loom has failed where it passes between the A pillar and the driver's door.
Years of opening and closing cause the wire core to work harden and fail.
Easy fix, strip back insulation and solder in a short length of wire, cover with heat shrink.
Very common fail, and new looms can be bought but ££££

It might Also be worthwhile checking the Fuses.
Good Luck.

Re: central locking?
Did you sort this? Mines done the same? I'm going to check fuses and drivers door wiring tomorrow. Thanks
