Hi My 328i Coupe central locking system has got messed up. The drivers door does not respond to the key fob at all. It will lock/unlock with the key The other door and boot will operate by the fob and set the alarm. Can the system be re-set ? The alarm went off and now it is out of sync. The trouble is i am not sure if the alarm is set or door locked when I leave the car. Nightmare!!!!! Please help if you can. Thanks

It's only an educated guess. If all other locks switches are working it' either the switch panel itself or an electrical short. Switches are popular, get it checked first

i've had similar problems with a hyundai coupe , you have'nt mentioned your vehicle , the problem with the coupe was the drivers door lock , as a tempory solution i removed the central locking fuse until could get the lock mechanism changed for the customer, removing the fuse means you will have to lock/unlock vehicle with the key in the door lock

central locking working on vaccum system..trying getting it serviced..should sort out

If the key turns in the lock, but does nothing, then the linkage has become disconnected or broken. The key is mechanical to the lock and the lock has a electrical switch to operate the central locking unit. Could be a simple broken clip from the lock barrel. Hope this helps

hi
you need to try a couple of diffrent things with this problem


1- get in drivers seat close doors and lock by hand
,
2- then put key in ignition and turn key till dash lights come on (do not start)

3- while key in ignition unlock doors with fob ,

4 - then lock again with fob while key in ignition.

5- then remove key exit car try locking doors from out side this should reset all your door locks

turn key twice when opening, ie turn right. once drivers door will unlock, turn twice passengers doors will unlock, and locking is turn anti clock wise once will lock all doors, turn twice will set door dead locks.dead locks will stop openand lock internal button working and handle from opening door. the same actions can be applied to the remote one press drivers door, two press passenger doors, press and hold unlock button for 5 seconds and rear window will open.

first unlock car manually with key remove driver side kick panel/lower A pillar trim connect locking registration wires together(two white connectors,black wire and black and blue wire)press and hold central locking switch on drivers door in the unlock position .interior lamp will flash and an acoustic sound will be heard. now get your key and press unlock and then lock the door should lock then unlock, job done ,i persume it was to program the fob to work the central locking u wanted

First thing first-change battery in fob-most jewelers can do this as well as dealers-takes more power to unlock than lock

You have a burnt solenoid for lock on the drivers door.

Here's what I suspect is happening. The door locks will lock and unlock normally when the key is OUT of the ignition. If the key is IN the ignition, the doors cannot be locked (manually, key fob, or otherwise, if the system is operating as designed - prevents the doors being locked when the key is in the ignition). I've seen this problem before, but on a Santa Fe, not an Accent. The ground signal of the right hand front passenger door was lost, and the doors automatically locked. Perhaps something similar is happening in the circuit between the ETACS module and the right front passenger door lock/unlock actuator. Could be anywhere in the circuit.




These wiring diagrams may be helpful. The relays expecially may help solve this issue. As you can see, these relays are also controled by the ETACS module (Remote Keyless Entry).
