Scavanger fan and central locking

Strange one... Unlocked Bongo, drivers side, the central locking didn't open the other doors. Turned engine on, flashing scavenger fan light (the orange coil). Coincidence? Or any ideas?

Check your fuses, top left or right, can't remember which, or it could be low battery.

Have you got a leisure battery. If so, could be disconnected, or as Kirsty says low on charge.

All fuses checked none blown.

Disconnected leisure battery, no change. Very crusty white deposit on negative terminal (not sure if this is relevant or red herring).

Any ideas?

Thanks.

white crusty bits ,if any, are normally on the positive terminal ,the +,

suggest you disconnect both terminals, (negative - first )

clean both terminals and connectors with emery paper

coat both terminals and connectors with vaselene

reconnect terminals to battery ,( positive +, first then negative- last)

note connecting/disconnecting terminals is always reversed when connecting /disconnecting ,

Cheers for the tip on how to disconnect battery...

Tried that. Cleaned it down and vaselined up. Fault still there.

Could it be the pre-heat sticking? If so how to fix that?

Thanks for all the help.

If CL isn't working, I'd check battery voltage? or supply fuses, especially if you've got a LB fitted?
