Wonder if you guys (and girls?) might be able to help with this.
My car has an electrical drain which will flatten the battery in about a week. Having gone through the fuse box with care, the only two circuits with any draw when "all off" are the clock and the central locking circuit.
Now funnily enough the central locking circuit doesn't work that well:
1. If i lock or unlock the car using the key in the passenger door, all the locks work as expected (so i think the vacuum pump is working correctly).
2. If i open each door individually the interior lights come on and go off as expected (so i think the door switches are functioning correctly).
3. If i lock the car i can unlock it with the IR remote, but...
4. I can't LOCK the car with the IR remote.
So - does anyone have any suggestions as to how i might trace this?
I could do with a wiring diagram for the central locking for a start huh?
And where is the central locking vacuum pump?
Any tips gratefully received.
