Jameslinkdink Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Hi can someone help me out. I have a Ford focus zetec mk2 2007. There Is something draining the battery. I have narrowed it Down to something to do with the central locking system. The boot keeps trying to lock itself when closed. They boot trys to lock itself every 15 secconds I can hear it. So I plugged out the switch for the boot and that didn't do it so plugged it the lock itself. I can still hear clicking in the back left of The Car in the boot on passenger side. I think this is the signal being sent to the boot to unlock. It's clicking for 5 secconds every 15 or 20 seconds. Anyone know exactly what's wrong? Or any possible fixes. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unofix Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Have you checked the GEM for water ingress and corrosion of the connector pins and the tracks of the circuit board ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jameslinkdink Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Hi it's not the gem or any fuses I don't think. I checked all the central locking fuses. there's no other electrical problems just a signal being sent to try lock the boot over and over. I have the boot lock disconnected and I can still hear a clicking noise of the signal being sent to the boot lock. The sound it coming from the side of the boot on the passenger side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gymfocused Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 What state is the boot switch in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jameslinkdink Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 Boot switch and the button to open it are in good condition. There's a ticking noise in the boot on the passenger side even with the boot switch and button plugged out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you have opened the boot switch up (as per below thread) you'll really not know what condition it's in. Very common fault, I'm on my 3rd!

Jameslinkdink Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 There's a ticking noise in the boot on the passenger side even with the boot switch and button plugged out. So the problem is surely something else. I'll look into modules now see if I can find anything. thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
