Central locking works only after engine running

Postby chriszerog » Sat Oct 21, 2017 12:41 am

Hi, appreciate there have been many central locking threads, however I can't seem to find any that match my issue.

Central Locking on my 2008 Transit operates fine after, say, a few mins of engine operation, but if not run for a while I'll get issues. Sometimes it'll just be the doors not locking, sometimes not opening, sometimes both, sometimes just rear doors etc. It gets worse if I've been locking and unlocking with the engine off (say I'm loading stuff in and out).

I'm guessing it's related to battery charge/voltage, given that all seems fine after a long drive, but could anyone shed further light on the issue?

Thanks in advance for the help,

Chris

Central locking not working, points to a dead front battery, it's a common issue on here :)
