I disconnected the central lock pump and the sound disappeared. But now the car won't start. It cranks, but the battery is dead and won't hold charge either. I put gas in the car, but still no dice. Car started fine before pump started draining battery.
Thanks for trying to help me. I got the battery recharged, re-connected the pump and STILL no start. I am at a loss because it wokrd fine before the intial pump problem.Thanks for trying to help me.

Hello again, You could now have a driver authorization problem. 1. Plug your central locking pump back in. 2. Make sure that your remote batteries are good. 3. Lock and unlock the car with the remote. 4. Try to start car. 5. If no start you may have to synchronize the anti-theft system. 6. Point remote at the interior rear view mirror, press button on remote twice and turn ignition key key on within 30 seconds. 7. Turn key off and then back on and try to start car. If car starts, you will need to find out why the pump won't shut off. You may be able to unplug the pump after you are able to start the car but this I am not sure of. CYA, Gator241

so is a Mitsubishi car????/
bonnet = UK
all ways top exit ways are dead. fob, door card buttons, and locks and levers in the car???????
all seated pos, in the car? are dead,.?
so you want to roll the window down to use key to exit car with (lurch) long arm act?
most door locks use a CB not a fuse. a device called Circuit breaker.
why not just fix the problem?
oops no MAGNAs here USA on service manuals to tell you how to fix any UK car.
sorry
not told do all doors fail.
and how ,all doors working or not , is best told to make the job easier to fix.
KNOWING that.
that door key thing confuses me, the windows are dead too?
I had that problem the other day
Battery dead charged it fitted it started car central locking for other doors only let go after I drove the car down the road
So it might work for you as well
it could be any thing , start with fuel , make sure there is fuel in the car , then if you have a jumper cable , conected to other car and see if it start , if not then go and check the fuese like fuel pump relay , starter relay ..etc ...dose your car crank when you started or it totally dead like no sound ??
First check your fuel pressure it should be 41-47 psi with key on and engine off if its below 32 psi replace the fuel pump and filter.If fuel pump checks out to be good then take ignition switch out and check for burned ignition switch wires and worn ignition key tumblers and ignition lock cylinder.These cars are known for faulty ignition switches and ignition lock cylinders.Ignition switch gets to hot then it won't start until it cools off.
Sounds like battery or battery cable problems to me.
If the battery is bad, you cannot trust ANYTHING the computer is telling you. They tend to set all kinds of codes when the battery has a shorted cell. (including fuel pump circuit and transmission system codes) They get "delirious" from malnutrition. You need to have your charging/starting system thoroughly tested.
if it cranks then check the starter, if you get nothing, then check the battery. It could be fuel delivery (fuel pump). It could be clogged or just dead. You could also check the fuel filter if it starts and sputters out. If the fuel pump is bad you will not hear it prime up.. Turn your car to ACC (not start) and see if you hear the electric whuzzzzzing sound of the pump activating. this should tell you if it is working or not.
Do the fans run properly and shut off when cars is off? If not they may be draining the battery. A bad stock antenna could drain battery because of the control module. Also the central locking pump if it keeps running (its supposed to shut off after 30 seconds) but if it fails it will drain the battery.
Disconnect each system 1 by 1 or pull fuses 1 by 1 to find out. I would believe its your neutral safety switch tho. Its on the transmission.
THE FIRST THING TO KNOW IS THAT WATER OR MOISTURE IS AN (ELECTRICAL) PATH TO GROUND SOUNDS LIKE MOISTURE IS GETTING IN THE LOCKING SYSTEM AND RELAY YOU HAVE TO FIND WHERE IT IS GETTING IN (MOISTURE) AND CHECK THE FUEL-PUMP RELAY THE SIMPLE THING UNTILL YOU ABSOLUTELY KNOW WHERE MOISTURE IS TO REMOVE THE FUEL PUMP RELAY SO THAT THE BATTERY WONT GO DEAD
Thanks for trying to help me. I got the battery recharged, re-connected the pump and STILL no start. I am at a loss because it wokrd fine before the intial pump problem.
