Hi,
well just been out in the Bongo and my remote central locking has started playing up!
when you press the fob it will only unlock or lock the drivers door the other doors have to be opened by the key or by hand! I'm assuming this is a factory fitted one as was on when i bought the bongo,Any ideas what could be the problem have checked both fuses and they are both ok.

never delved onto this myself,but uneducated guess maybe door wiring loom maybe,where the hinge is the wires tend to break.

Agree, wiring loom between door n body, do the other doors lock/unlock when u manullay activate locking, by moving knobbly up n down? if not then definitely wiring loom

After an afternoon of stripping the door down, I have found the central locking to be after market system.(its part of the alarm) I did strip the driver's door wiring loom and found 3 broken wires, repaired these but it still was not working. I dont think these broken wires had anything to do with the actuator as the wires for this were totally seperate from the loom and was soldered into connections behind the dash. If you operate the knobbly it does not operate the other doors!

I do have a LB fitted by a willington kit, Bongo tends to stand most of the week but unlocked and locked fine first thing this morning, just played up this afternoon when nipped out to the shops.I will check LB voltage and check its charging ok.
