SurGie 54 Posted November 3, 2008 Are there any tricks of the trade to pump a little live back in it? [/quote test the wire for a live then if it ok, get a new central locking motor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chaff 0 Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) Good thinking, will do. Does it not have a earth then? Edited November 3, 2008 by Chaff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SurGie 54 Posted November 4, 2008 Hi, If you use the live wire screwdriver tester it has a wire from it for the earth, u then attatch it to a good solid metal area to earth it then use the screwdriver bit where the live wire is and if the tester lights up then there is power going to the motor. Im not sure which is the live wire though of hand and i think you have to switch the central locking on and off to see if there is power there. Hope it helps, i bet the motor has gone to be honest.
