Central locking.

[Troubledshooter]

The central locking has suddenly stopped working on my 'L' reg 8v Calibra.
I have usually used the pasenger lock to operate the system, but on occasion the drivers lock, without any problem.
None of the locks now operate the others although all lock manually, apart from the petrol flap for which there is no manual option.
When I turn the key in the drvers lock, I can hear a click from the rear area, but whether it is the petrol flap slenoid or the boot solenoid, I don't know.

Before setting my tame mechanic loose on the problem, I decided to have another go myself.
I removed the ground lead from the battery, ensured all locks were open, re-connected the ground lead, and hey presto, it all works as before.
Obviously just needed resetting.
I suspect that when I changed the battery last week, the problem was somehow created, with one or other of the locks in the wrong state when it was re-connected.
