Hello Gents My central locking is not functioning when i push the button on my fob but car starts as normal. Can someone please advise on what can/could be not working or what to test/check and location of the items that need checking/posible replacment Thanks in advance
Both doors, Paul? Do the door locks lock and unlock using the console switches (with the doors closed)? If not working with the console switches and the anti-theft system, check the "Roof lights and Central Locking fuse" in the passenger footwell. The manual shows this as fuse 30 in some manuals. Just looking at the wiring diagrams... The centre console switches send signals to the "Door Locking ECU" through 2 wiring splices. The anti-theft system is also wired into these same 2 splices. From the splices to the Door Locking ECU, the wiring is common. If there is no response from the console switches or Anti-Theft system, the problem could be the common wiring, the Door Locking ECU or the power to the ECU. Hope this helps Cheers Ian
P.S. I'm not sure of the exact location of the door locking ECU, but it's shown in this Ricambi parts breakdown (Item 9) ELECTRICAL BOARDS - PASSENGERS COMPARTMENT - Ricambi America, Inc.
(EDIT) Regarding the Door Locking ECU (if required), it appears that this item has been superseded by another part. On the Eurospares site, there seems to be a lot of conflicting information and strange terminology regarding this. ref Search Results for 178720 - Eurospares | Order Online Eurospares The Eurospares site uses the odd (to me) expression "superceded from" ... English experts?
Fuse was blown. Replaced fuse and it blue soon as it was posted in to fuse socket. Looks like a direct short can someone advise what to look for or where I can get a detailed wire diagram for the Central locking system thanks
ouch..... That fuse not only powers the Door Locking ECU, but the: clock courtesy lamp time delay relay module Left and Right Door open lights (?) Front dome light & Map light All I can suggest is isolating various components and rechecking the fuse. e.g. take the big electrical plug off the door locking ECU and see if the fuse blows. The wiring diagrams are found in the Workshop Manuals which are available online (search the forum), but they are almost illegible and each system diagram is divided into 4 parts which you have to stickytape together. Or you could download my diagram which includes some colours and labels. http://www.iinet.net.au/[email protected]/FerrariF355Spider/Fig9_Mirrors_Doorlocks.GIF Follow the orange line. If you need the clock and interior light diagrams, let me know. If you download my diagrams onto an iPad or iPhone, you can enlarge and manipulate the diagram as required. If you have a wire tracker then, with the battery disconnected, you could try to follow the path of the wiring and see if it takes any unusual turns. If you don't have a wire tracker, there are types recommended on the forum: e.g. http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/144749868-post11.html Hope this helps more than it hurts Cheers Ian.
Beetle, I'm not much of a poster, and a long time forum lurker...so wouldn't blame you for questioning my recommendation(s)...but I do know a guy/shop who works on those boards and even makes after-markets kits and fuse boxes, etc. Old-School FNA certified. I don't know what the rules are on the forum for posting details on that stuff so leaving it out for now. FWIW I don't get any kickbacks or have any association...just know that he/they are generally super helpful and not in it for the $$$. Hit me up if you want the details. I'm sure many of the F_Chatters will know the name. If you get stumped might be worth the phone call. I know as soon as an electric gremlin pops up I lose confidence in my DIY abilities pretty quick.
Thanks everyone for there help. Ian as it turns out I unplugged the drivers door and fuse stopped blowing so I pulled the door and skin and found that someone has been in there at some stage???? Well the door loom has got caught and all plugs pulled when operating the windows. Plugged all back in and secured the loom correctly and all good everything works also the Central locking. Very happy again. Thanks again for all the info from the people that replied.
