Andras1987 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Hi guys, I have a problem with my central locking system, it is just stopped working and i can open the boot also. I am only able to open the door with the key, but i can not open the boot with the key, between the seats also. It seems to me the locks does not getting any electricity. When pressing the remote on the key i can hear a clicking noise and also the hazard lights are blinking. Is any of you know, where is any relay maybe for the locks? Thanks in advance.

Omendata Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 What car is it - Streetka? I thought the between the seats lock was mechanical and just a wire to manually open the boot? It sometimes needs a good turn to get it to open - another pain in the !Removed! in the design of this nightmare on wheels! May also be the solenoid for the keylock - if one fails the other wont work either perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Yes it is a Streetka, i tried actually very hard to turn the key, but i will try even harder than. Do you know where is the solenoid for the keylock and how to test it?

Omendata Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 My battery is out of my Streetka and i can open the boot from the inside of the car between the seast so it is a mechanical wire mechanism that operates the emergency unlock. Solenoid is behind the door panel i would imagine. Have you checked the roof stowage area and made sure its locked and properly closed as the central locking wont work if its unlocked?

Andras1987 Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Thanks, i will try to turn the key harder then. Yes i checked the roof is locked, but also can not be opened, when i press the button it is just giving the exactly same clicking noise, that is why i was thinking this is something to do with any reley or something.

Omendata Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 If the roof solenoid is clicking then its faulty and i can tell you from personal experience that the roof mechanism is a real pain on the streetka - the microswitch is the main culprit for the alarm going off and the solenoids on the streetka are very poor quality as is a lot of what is in this badly designed skateboard - the relay wouldnt be an issue if electricity is getting to the roof solenoid! A relay is just an electronic switch designed to pass a high current efficiently; Relays offer complete isolation between the activating circuit and the load and prevent nasty surges and spikes - car lights are notorious especially on ym old kit car which didnt have any relays at all - they are usually activated by a smaller control/base voltage - kinda like a npn transistor!

Kit car? You mentioned a kit car? What is it? Tell us more!!!! I wanna know. I LOVE kit cars... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
