Thread: 1991 Vogue SE central locking

Can anyone point us in the right direction to where it would be?

Hang on ..... Are you saying you had a Rangie with working central locking ?? I didn't think such a thing existed. Oneday I'll get around to fixing mine. Reading up on it in the past, you also need new springs to hold the mechanism up as well as new actuators. I did buy a set for my car .......... They are sitting on a shelf somewhere in the shed

Yes Shane I share your incredulity! Some research has pointed me in the right direction I think.
We have one 1987 RRC that central locking all works fine. Only the drivers door automatically opens the other doors. There is no controller involved.
The doors can be opened from both the drivers and passanger doors on the Vogue SE and is controlled by a DRC8069 controller.
As the doors can't be opened from the driver's door I suspect the controller is rooted.
Now to find it and do some testing.....

Landy G. I look forward to the results of your investigations, if you decide to post them. My 91SE unlocks all doors (not including the early donor rear liftgate of course) from the driver's door, but from front passenger opens all the doors except the driver's - which is fine for now. Something is going on, but haven't had a chance to look - other tasks are higher on the list.
