Yes, there is a fuse, but it is actually behind the fuse block. Take out the screws that hold the fuse block in place. When you turn the block around, you will see one fuse on the back. Mine blew on both of the Foci that I have owned.

There is only one fuse that mentions 'Locking', but also refers to the General Electrical Module (GEM). If you change the fob battery, you need to reprogram it to the vehicle. Or you could open any Transit around you. Lots of help below including resetting..
If the central locking system is not working on your Citroen C2 and the garage has quoted a high price for a new key and programming, here are a few things you can check:
Check the fuses: Check the fuses for the central locking system. It's possible that a blown fuse could be causing the issue.
Check the battery: Ensure that the car battery is fully charged and functioning properly. A weak or dead battery can cause issues with the central locking system.
Check the wiring: Check the wiring for any damage or loose connections. The wiring for the central locking system is located behind the door panels.
Regarding the passenger door, if it is permanently locked, you can try the following steps to manually unlock it:
Remove the door panel: Remove the door panel to gain access to the lock mechanism.
Manually unlock the door: You can try to manually unlock the door by using a flathead screwdriver or a slim jim to manipulate the lock mechanism.
Check the lock mechanism: Once the door is unlocked, check the lock mechanism for any damage or wear. Replace any damaged parts as needed.
If you're not comfortable with these steps or if the issue persists, it's best to have a professional mechanic diagnose and repair the issue. They will have the knowledge and equipment necessary to properly diagnose and fix the problem.
it could be a problem with the central locking unit. you would need to have the system red on a obd read that does this part of the vehicle, you could try to reset the system key in ignition turn to number 2, press fob doors should lock and unlock with the button pressed. as for the side door this is controlled by the front door on that side this door has to be locked and the pin moved in the lock to send the power to lock the side door. with the central locking not working on the system and you manually locking it it may not be going all the way to lock both doors. or the central locking is not working at all. the fuse for central locking is in the main fuse box.
The central locking air-pumps often fail on these models, or leaks develop in the air lines of the system. They aren't typically easy to repair when leaks develop as they must first be traced, but if you are lucky, then it may just be a pump issue.
I would suspect the fuel flap actuator has failed. Open the trunk. In the right rear corner is the access cover. Open it and you'll see some insulation matting near the top. Behind it is a fuse/relay carrier, I believe either fuse 55 or 56 is blown. If so the fuel flap actuator needs replaced. The fuse also controls the central locking system.
Toyota Corolla Verso - Central locking has just stopped responding
So you don't waste your time, here are some assumptions: -
1. When I press the key fob there is no sound of doors trying to lock/unlock and I know the key fob is fine.
Solution:
In this situation reset the alarm/locking system
Below is the procedure I followed to get the central locking working again: -
Open the passenger door, and look at the side of the dash board. There should be a triangular panel. Pull the panel off to reveal a small set of fuses(see the back of the panel for the fuse map). To power down the central locking you need to remove the Dome Light fuse, this is located top left. Second one down 7.5 amps. (if in doubt remove the top two 7.5 amp fuses I did)
When you remove the fuse(s) you will notice the interior light go out indicating you have powered down the system.
Now leave them out for at least 30 mins so any capacitors can discharge properly. (Be aware while the fuse is removed all central locking is disabled, so the other doors are open. I left the fuse(s) out over night with all the doors open but I don't recommend it, 30 mins should be fine)
After 30 mins replace the fuse(s) close all doors, and then try your key fob, hopefully you should here that satisfying locking sound.
2. When I press the key fob I hear the locking system trying to engage.
This could be a faulty door switch on any door including the boot, or there could be a dent in the inner door panel of any of the doors, usualy the rear doors due to the seat belt not retracting properly.
Solution:
Check all door switches for damage, and check inner panel for dents, just a small dent where the switch connects can be enough to not engage the switch. This will stop the central locking.
Use some kitchen roll wrapped in tape (as a makeshift pad) and tape to the inner door as a temp measure to engage the door switch. At least you can then lock the car.
hello, there is a central locking fuse located in the fuse holder above the battery in the trunk. when you access the trim, look on the fuse description on the back side of the trim cover. I believe it may be either fuse #54 or #56. if the fuse is blown, you probably have a failed fuel flap actuator.
Brill, mate!! Thanks a lot. I'm on the case!
