Hi,

I have bought a w reg fiesta 1.8td (lynx)

Its supposed to have central locking but its not working.The previous owner said he just came out one day and when he unlocked the car with the key it only unlocked the drivers door.

The central locking does not work regardless of what door you lock/unlock it from.

It also has a cobra alarm which does not arm/disarm with the fob.

Any ideas?

    This is strange!! Has the alarm ever worked? Do you know how long it's been installed and who installed it?

    yes the alarm used to work but just stopped working,same with central locking.I have checked all the fuses to the right of the steering wheel.

    What about the ones in the engine? I think there should be two sets of fuses, there normally is on cars.

    I'm not sure to be honest mate but it may be a problem with the wiring but normally you'll get a beep from an alarm if it's connected but faulty so sounds like it may not be connected at all
