Hey guys, i did a quick search but couldnt find anything so im sorry if it has been posted before,

basically, my central locking (factory), fuel flap release and boot release have all stopped working, has this happened to anyone and what should i look for? i thought maybe it would be the BEM but the interior light delay is still working (btw its a fairmont ghia eb s1), any ideas?

cheers

chris

Check fuses (with a multimeter, since the breaks are not always visible). Is anything else not working?

I've had a couple over the years 'blow' but the break wasn't visible. Only way to check is with a multimeter or a whole bunch of fuses swapping each one.

do the BEM's and Smartlock modules get cracks in the fuses/printed circuit boards?

I recently fixed a broken LCD monitor. It's power supply board was cracked, just enough to brake a few traces. So now I have a screen for the car
