    Plan B is I've got a generic central locking control unit off ebay. There are 6 control wires on the instructions

    For locking

    Orange - normally closed

    White - common

    Yellow - Normally open

    For unlocking

    Orange black - normally closed

    White - common

    Yellow black- Normally open

    Can anyone offer any ideas where to wire this in ?

    Have you checked ALL of the fuses on the vehicle? Does the boot unlock button on the remote keyfob work? (make sure to push it twice)

    Which wires are you earthing? And do you mean the remote keyfob then locks and unlocks?

    Evening,

    If I pull the connector off on the drivers door A post and earth the black/red then the doors lock, and the black/white wires then the doors unlock just as they should.

    Using the key in either the driver or passengers door will lock the car ok but it wont unlock all the doors when you turn the key.

    As far as I can see there is only the 1 fuse running the central locking - Am I right ?

    Cheers

    Hmm, I understand the problem now but I'm not experienced enough to know what's causing this mate.

    Does the GEM module control the central locking? I'd suspect a fault with that as neither door lock is activiating the global lock. It is worth checking all of the fuses but if the car is unlocking correctly I can't see it being a blown fuse.

    Maybe disconnect the battery overnight to clear any memory in the GEM module?
