Default 960 (1995) Central locking stopped working

My central locking has suddenly stopped working. When you press the remote button it makes a noise as if it's trying to open, but nothing happens. If you open the door with the key, only that door opens.

I'm thinking that maybe it's the relay, but I can't find it in the fuse boxes.

There are 3 relays in the box at the end of the dashboard:
Power Supply Relay B
Fuel Pump Relay
Power Supply Relay A

in the engine compartment they are thus:

  • E Blank
  • D Blank------------J Ignition system-------------N Horn
  • C Fuel system------H Blank----------------------M Pos/park lamps
  • B Blank------------G Front Fog Lamps------------L Dim/dip H/Lamps
  • A Air Pump---------F AC Compressor-------------K Starter Motor


Could anyone shed some light on this please, as there does not seem to be a haynes manual for this model.

The relays afaik are in the alarm module which is behind the glove box, tucked away to the left. Have opened this up to check the relay was working. This was after I'd repaired the c/l which worked for a day n a half. BUT the problem was originally in the drivers door and what I think I've done is forgot to cable tie the door loom to the door and the electric window has pulled the wires. HTH. Just as an add on you should have posted this on 700/900. Tech guys should sort it

Ok, It's working now. Don't know how or why. Perhaps it was the extreme temperatures we were having!!!
