SOURCE: Drivers power lock will not unlock with remote.

the door lock actuator is defective, they get really hard to move when they go bad, that is why the difficulty with the key.

The door latch is the cause of your problem. You can pull the top of the door panel off and look down with a flashlight and use a long screwdriver to actuate the unlock rod and the door will open so you can replace the latch.

I changed my battery and when i did, the antitheft just started making my lights go on and off, and i try to crank it but its like im not getting power to the engine!

the anti theft is working! try manually locking your doors,then wait 15 minutes,unlock the doors with key, the last door you should lock is drivers. lock all doors from inside but drivers, when you shut drivers door,lock it from outside with the key.leave it alone for about 15 minutes please! when you unlock it with the key, if the alarm goes off, disconnect the battery for 10mins. then start over,just remember to lock the driverside door from outside this time with the key!!!

  • Press any button on new remote, doors will lock, unlock to verify
  • Do the previous step with the second remote, doors will lock unlock to verify.
  • Turn ignition off. Doors will again lock, unlock to verify.

I have a problem with my central locking on my 2005 focus . the obc tells me my rear passeger door is open and the drivers door . so the car wont lock, the luggae compartment is ok . any help with this...

It's unlikely you can rectify this problem by playing around with the CL system so you will need to take it to the dealer or auto electrician to fix.
In any event you should be able to manually lock all passenger doors on the vehicle from inside the car and the drivers door from outside with the key.

Before you take the car to the auto shop to fix the CL system try this if you have not already.

1. Manually lock - then manually unlock - all doors (except the driver's door) from inside the car and make sure they are fully shut.

2. Then manually lock all doors a 2nd time except the driver's door.

3. Hit the lock button on your car key pad to activate the central locking system. This should lock the drivers door but with the fault it probably won't. Wait a few seconds then hit unlock on your key pad. Wait again and then hit lock once more. If it will not lock all doors you know what to do next.

Combination on car keypad does not open doors

Does the key pad on the door light up? Are there any tears in the key pad numbers? Does the key pad lock the doors?.
There are no fuses directly for the pad.. The key pad is linked directly to the RAP. module. If the locks work from the FOB the fuses for the Module are good. Chances are the pad is no good especially if it don't light up. The RAP module is above the driver side foot well, directly above the accelerator pedal . Hope this helps.
