Focus central locking

Hi,

My son has a 1999 T reg 1.6 Focus. Yesterday he found that the central locking had stopped working. no door will open using the remote and only the one door will open using the key which I believe rules out a dead key fob battery. Also the offside rear door will not open now even from the inside.

He has tried to locate the fuse ( number 63 I think ) but cant find it, the glove box fuses go up to number 62. He was told 63 fuse was behind the others but is having trouble removing the fuse block.

Does anyone know if this likely to be the problem or is there anything else we can check.

Any help would be great, thanks, John
