Default Door lock problem

OK here's the problem:

When I lock my car from the outside with the key it used to roll up the windows and lock all doors. Now when locking from the outside it only locks the drivers door, but when I unlock the car it unlocks all the doors fine plus my led for the factory alarm dosent come on anymore. When I unlock the car with the key it works properly. My remote fobs have never worked since I bought the car but thats no big deal. I've checked all fuses and they all are fine. What could be causing this and where is the module located

Thanks

the module is underneath your rear seat...just pull up on the front of the seat, give it an easy tug, then pull it forward....it sounds like an electrical problem.

Sweet I needed to know where to look for the module. Damn locks do you have an idea of how much this part is. Ehh maybe I might try to take it apart and fix it. I needed somethig to do today that requires some brain function

don't know how much they cost, sorry...probably not much from a used parts vendor....i don't think you can take it apart though...you might also want to consider replacing the stock module with an aftermarket alarm...that way you can have remotes again, and a full aftermarket setup might not be much more than the OE module....

i believe there are a couple boxes underneath the seat....the module you want is the small one in the center...you can search AW's electronic tech section for a keyless entry replacement writeup, there is a picture of the module you need in that write-up...

OK so I pulled up the back seat on lunch and there is only one box mounted under the seat and that is for the Factory alarm unit which also dosent work. I disconnected it and still the same all doors unlock but only one locks. I ran thriugh the fuses for the central locking system and the alarm again. Where is this central locking control module located, any ideas Thanks

skidplate, sorry man, i formatted my comp a few days ago and i just tried to reregister my software (i have the bentley cd) and apparently i have to call it in, and they're on eastern time, so they're closed.

quite a few of the mods have there own bentleys...maybe one of them will chime in here.... *nod*jest *nod*
