Central locking worked fine up until the day before I went to Silverstone Classic. Car locks with fob (single push on logo button), but then push the central button and the drivers door doesn’t open, just the indicators flash twice. Second push on central button passenger door opens, but drivers door still locked.
Car battery is fine, though have disconnected and re-connected it and have tried changing the batteries in the fob and using the spare key - all making no difference
Central locking relay/module has possibly failed. I think its located behind the speaker on the drivers side in the front dash. If you have hands like a lady you can get in and change it
Same symptoms mine had, new relay required, remove cable from old one and leave it in, plug in new one and wedge it under dash, even then I still have the scares
Do I need to remove the drivers side panel, or on a 2010 top dash mounted speaker car go in through the speaker? If through the speaker does anyone know how to remove the speaker?
Hi all
Have replaced the CDL unit earlier today.
Take out the two screws in the ‘coin cubby’ below the starter button/light switches. Then pull out the panel holding starter button and light switches. There is plenty of cable length to then get this panel well out of the way.
The CDL unit is roughly in line with the top of the panel just removed straight in front of you 6 inches or so in from the front of the dash.
It’s held by two screws which you need a very short stubby screwdriver to loosen.
Did the whole job in around 45 minutes. Was quoted £270 + the part by Lotus.
Got my CDL unit from Paul Matty and Silverstone Lotus also have at least one in stock
The relays fail on the module part number hg4117 not much else to go wrong looking at the board.
Maybe a little soldering on the top two pins also, can just see a circle appearing around the legs.
