Hello !
I just want to share my experience on fixing my central locking problem.

Suddenly one day central locking stopped working. After careful examination i saw that my radio antenna was also not funtioning(not going up and down).
This implied that they both were on the same fuse.

I went to my electric guru here and he told me that my fuse propably is blown up. He indeed changed the fuse on the trunk andhe told me that if the problem continuous after that we have to chase a possible leak into the air (hyfraulic) system that works on that system. This can be very easy or very labour intensive work depending on where is the leak ...

After the fuse was replaced for 2 days everything was perfect , and after that same problem . I went there again and he told me that we need to chase the leak . I told him to change the fuse again (cause i didnt want to leave the car there). I asked how the system works he explained me and i asked him if excessive friction between the doors and the lock my cause a problem.
He told me is likely (if the system puts too much effort due to lack of lubrication between the lock and the door the the fuse my blow up)and then i asked if putting some WD40 on the lock might help. He told me maybe. I did that and for the past 40 days no problem again .

So keep this in mind before chasing any leak in the central locking system.

I was very proud of myself :D:D:D

Well done :thumbsup: I think some other grease might last even longer than WD40

The fuse was in the trunk , my electrician changed it .
The place where i greased not on the lock directlty but
on the iron thing that attaches to the lock and has a π Shape
