Central Locking Issues 1995 BG5


evljat

Recommended Posts

Recently bought a 1995 Legacy GT knowing it had central locking issues.

The central locking does not work at all from both the Alarm remote, infrared remote and the switch on the driver\'s side and the driver\'s side lock.

I can hear a relay clicking somewhere behind the glove box. I removed the glovebox and had a sniff but couldn\'t find anything. From the searching I have done I believe that my central locking motor has stopped working. Is this true? and how hard is it to replace?

Cheers guys.

I had a look at the fuses in the driver\'s footwell and I couldn\'t read the Japanese writing. Assuming this picture is correct _MG_5176.jpg I switched the 20A fuse with a working one and the central still didn\'t work. I could still hear the relay clicking when operating the drivers side lock. Now I\'ll look into replacing the central locking unit.

So I finally fixed this problem. After it was said that it is more than likely to be the C/L unit than the motors I decided to replace that. A short trip down to the Takanini PickaPart and $16 later I had one from a wrecked bg5. I was surpised to see about 5-6 of them there.

So I replaced the unit and wah-lah I had central locking again. But it wouldn\'t lock/unlock with the alarm. Following this thread http://www.clubsub.org.nz/forum/index.php/topic,27921.0.html I soldered the two wires and bang everything was working like it should.

...Apart from the infrared key lock thing. But oh well don\'t need that anyway.

Hope this helps someone in a similar situation.

Cheers.

Hey bro, Currently have that same issue. Where abouts was your C/L unit and what two wires did you need to solder. Cheers bro surely a reply 😂🙏

 

This was damn near 12 years ago, I don't remember much 🤣

 

The thing I replaced was somewhere behind the dash on the passenger side. I think I had to remove the passenger side air vent to get the bolts.

 

Can't remember exactly what I soldered. I think it had something to do with making the car lock/unlock with the alarm remote. It was two wires coming from somewhere.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
