maghouse 0 Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Chaps, I have a Mk1 VW Sharan VR6 R reg. My central locking & alarm failed yesterday. I thought classic water in the seatwell and a soggy control unit but nope - bone dry. These are the symptoms : No central locking via the key (never had fob remote) Drivers door, passenger door & rear tailgate will only open mechanically with the key. The rear 2 passenger doors are permanantley locked - wont open from inside or outside. The petrol flap is open (the pin is at the rear all the time). No courtesy light system working ie usually remove key & all comes on or even opening a door - nothing comes on. The mechanical switches on the lights work ok. The control box under the seat clicks rapidly (like a stuck relay) but intermittantley - remove the fuse & obviously stops but also isolates all the courtesy lights etc. Removed the control box today - all looks good, no obvious signs of damange or water ingress etc. So - do these control units (7MO962257J) just blow ? The only other clue is the usual problems of the tailgate wiring chaffing and breaking but all have been repaired, one did work loose again so maybe shorted out - earthed ? would that blow the control unit ? If I have to buy a new one que sera - but any tests first to see if I have missed anything ? Thanks for your help :-) Link to post Share on other sites
