Hi Guys,
I currently have an issue with the central locking on my '95 ABY Coupe that I hope someone can shed some light on.
After unlocking the car (which works fine), opening the drivers door will operate the central locking and hence locks the car with the doors open.
The car also locks when the key is taken out of the ignition when the drivers door is open. (It also locks when you push the ignition barrel in, again only when the door is open).
It's not alarm related, as that was fully disabled and it's still doing the same thing.
So far, the electrician I've spoken to says that it looks for all the world like the central locking pump's internal circuit board is faulty. He said that it's probably picking up an earth from the door courtesy light switch. and is therefore firing the central locking when the door is opened, which seemed to make sense.
Has anyone experienced this before? and does it sound like a plausible explanation of the fault?
The pump p/n is 4A0 862 257 J
I've found a s/h one on the bay to substitute (same p/n but from a '98 A6).
Also, does a replacement pump need coding to the vehicle? I've been told that it has to be, but wasn't the S2 pre such things?
Sorry if that's all a bit long-winded, but cheers for any help!
Pete.
