It could be the control box that sits behind the quarter trim the drivers side?

That box controls the central locking and windows or you have an electrical fault somewhere?

Have you checked the fuse that is on its own above the main bank of fuses?

I lost leccy windows and central locking a bit ago, and for once it was a cheap easy fix, a first on my VR

IIRC, they're not MOT fails as long as you can unlock the door from the outside....

Check the fuse on its own above all the other fuses first like NickVR6 said.

It won't fail the MOT for this, as long as you can still use the key to operate the door lock, and use the handle to open the door. Both interior and exterior door handles have to work properly though I think.

Mine is purely manual as the central locking was half ripped out by some tw*t in the past. Never had a problem at MOT time.

nice one guys, it was just a fuse. and thank god for that!

my C has more than enough wrong with her to deal with as it is after she crashed and burned the MOT! only put it throught to check if there were any other bits i needed besides a cat (whitch im getin this wk).

 

heres the list fualts:

 

* ABS light dose not come on

* nearside headlights out of aim

* offside headlight out of aim

* nearside rear wheel bearin has excessive play

* offside rear tyre depth to low

 

thats not to bad i hear u say, well it gets worse

 

* nearside front lower supension arm mounting gone

* offside front lower supension arm mounting gone

* nearside rear brake pipes excessivly corroded

* offside rear brake pipes excessivly corroded

* center brake pipe excexxivly corroded

* exhaust emission too high (witch i knew it would be)

 

now at this point i thought 'ok, glad i dont have to pay for the schrick till feb now'. then the tester (my dads mate) said 'now then theres a bit on the advisory list'.

and that goes like this:

 

* nearside rear supension arm mount goin

* offside rear supension arm mount goin

* nearside front brake pipe goin

* offside front brake pipe goin

* offside rear wheel bearing slight play

* center exhaust has minor leak

 

so all in all A TOTAL PAIN IN THE ASS & WALLET THAT I DONT NEED!

you checked it was the right Amp one in the first place? or if anything else has joined/crossed or even crossing the curcit that it is on to over load it?
