Default Can you hear a pump running under the seat? What vehicle?

If you hear the pump humming, you likely have a broken vacuum line SOMEWHERE. If no pump, the the lock switch in the door may be bad...try the passenger key lock. Good luck.

Default Yes there is a fuse..also check the wiring routed along the trunk hinges.

Many cases it gets crimped and causes a short.

You been having any other wierd electrical problems lately?

The pump is located in the trunk, pass side behind the carpet. Easy to get at. Have someone turn the key and you listen if the pump runs at all.

Default Re: my central locking system stopped working for no reason.

I had a similar problen before: It was just caused by a bad connector contact of the bi-pressure pump. I fixed mine by wiggling the connector a bit.
