    Guys, Can anyone help,the central locking on my 348 Spider has stopped working.

    Withthat at the same time my radio stopped working. I have found the fuse that is the same one for the radio and central locking. Its OK, not broken.

    Each door will lock with car key, but not together when using the alarm button on my key ring.

    The alarm is works but does not open or close the doors.

    Any suggestions would be great ???????

    Thanks all.....

    The problem could be that the fuse board itself is faulty, but firstly I would check that the Central Door Locking ECU is getting power, also check the stereo fuse that's just behind the set.

    If you need wiring diagrams etc let me know.

    What happens if you lock and/or unlock the car with the key instead of the alarm button? It should lock and/or unlock both doors. If that functions, then perhaps the issue is with the alarm/remote and/or the regulator in the door. If it doesn't function, then I would look to the car.

    Ferrari UK Tech,

    The central locking fault has come back, which has also de powered my stereo. When the stereo went dead then does the central locking system.

    Where is the central locking ECU located ?

    The central locking & Stereo fuse is OK. No loose wiring in the fuse board.

    Maybe the stereo has been connect to the central locking power wire which is not secure and is causing the problem.

    I need so schematics from someone if possible.

    Thanks for your help everyone.

    Has the central locking go a relay as well ? Not shown on the fuse box lid.
