Got up to go to work this morning and could not get into my exige s2 2005, not the usual flat battery symptoms, lights flashed and the locked moved up slightly then straight back down, I didn�t have time to hook it up to a charger.
Is this just another case of the battery on its way out and not enough juice to open the doors properly / something more sinister??
When I get in tonight if it doesn�t open when hooked up to a charger via the front jump points? Any suggestions??
Thanks in advance
Had a smilar issue with my old s2, it need a new central loking unit.

Thanks for the information, if thats the case least it didnt play up when i’m in the middle of no where, what kind of price is a new central locking unit gonna cost?
free under warranty
Can’t you just use the key in the door? Or is there no physical link on the S2?
no link.
Got mine done under warrenty, no link as Mr d06 says, its like a dead lock.

Sadly my warrenty ran out in April, I have the feeling its gonna cost me
I had that problem on my passenger door when the car was delivered. It sounds odd if it is on BOTH doors? Could it be that the battery is low? Mine was fixed by some adjustments inside the door.
Had this problem only it wouldnt lock. it wasn’t too bad had it done at a specialist with the central locking modulator costing about �40 for the part but dont know how long labour wise as i had a lot of other things done at the same time.
Yup had exactly the same, lived with it for a couple of months as we had ordered an Exige S, told dealer when we traded in the car & he said (in a very matter of fact way) “ah yes it’s got water in it, very common” what’s more he didn’t bat an eye lid even though HE had to get it sorted. So it looks like it’s got water in it! No idea how much it costs but I think you should try to argue your case, even though the warranty is out “don’t ask you don’t get”!
Thank you for all your replys, all sorted now it was the central locking module It ended up costing me, but not to much

It could have been worse, it could have gone when I was at a rally day down south 190 miles from home the day before, the tow might have cost a bit more
Can someone tell me where this c/l module is located ?
Since my doors seem to fill with water, it might be wise to try to waterproof this device before the inevitable happens

Serves you right for taking the roof off
I could be talking rubbish (most likly) but I think the Central Locking Module which failed was behind the dash
