central locking

[ealex]

im back to the stone age. i was out of gas and i stop in a gas station, at rush hour, with lots of cars waiting in line, only to find that the tank lid wont open. i locked unlocked the drivers door. nothing happened. only the driver door locked. thank god i had a screw driver and i took the electric lock thingy from inside the trunk out, and pulled the rod. tank open, me happy.
Is there a fuse for the central locking that mightve snapped?

There's a fuse for everything in a car mate, check the box.

i found the fuse, replaced it with a higher and higher rating one, and still it popped. i took the door cards off, and i cant see anything wrong. they pop when i lock or unlock the doors.
i'll go buy a bag of fuses later and try to disconnect each door and lock and see if one causes all the probs. i suspect the passenger door cus it was acting up when really cold since i got the car.

my passenger locking motor went faulty a while ago and it kept popping the fuse. I isolated the problem by disconnecting the motor and trying the central locking without it. The fuse didn't go without the passenger motor in. I replaced the motor (after making sure it was the right one and gettin a new one from autovox), which solved the problem no wirries:)
PS It went instantly.... like one minute it was fine, the next it was fooked.
