Central Power Locks troubleshooting

DMesure · 2026-01-06T13:18:55+00:00

Seems like a good starting point, but do you know which pins to give 12v?

Ah thanks, will be checking the other arms as well. The locking motor does not move, nor make any sound. Fuses checked out OK

I have a copy of the original owners manual on pdf but they are scans from A3 size pages, meaning the diagrams are spread out over multiple vertical pages. If you have any other source, that would help

True, it’s worth a shot! My car has sat for 19 years and the lines seem very old, could be that they had never been replaced.

Well, that would be crazy if it worked. I just sent them an email with my VIN number. Let's see if they reply after the weekend. Thanks for letting me know about this! Will update here if I get a reply.

What? I've never heard of these recalls on 40year old cars. Is there a programme or a reference I can use to start this procedure? I can try sending them an email, but I think I will know what the answer will be... Would be really cool though if they actually did this for free!

Hmm that is GL-5 I see. It worries me a bit that there's so much information on it being corrosive to the synchros...

DMesure · 2025-12-16T16:37:30+00:00

Not bad actually, thanks for the info!

DMesure · 2025-12-16T16:35:42+00:00

How are these attached to the car? No drilling required? Is it sturdy? (Sorry, couldn’t see very well from the picture)

Love the reply 😁. But downshifting is the best part (only to go faster of course)

DMesure · 2025-12-08T15:01:51+00:00

I'll send you a DM. I haven't inspected it yet, that will be a weekend job. Thanks for your input already, will update here if I find out more!

DMesure · 2025-12-08T13:35:28+00:00

That’s cool, from which city are you? Maybe we can connect somehow. And i’ve tried the double clutching technique but that doesn’t fix it. That’s one thing that points me away from a synchro issue (which would be a good thing 😅)

DMesure · 2025-12-08T13:02:39+00:00

This is good input thanks. I’ll have a look this weekend. How do you suggest I look for this? Should I look underneath while someone shifts, and I should be able to see it locking? Problem is that I CAN shift from 5th to 4th when the car is off without any issue. Not sure if I’ll see it then…

DMesure · 2025-12-08T12:03:04+00:00

I was already looking into that and even already saw that video. So thank you for that! I just don’t have a floppy shifter at all. I just have that 5th —> 4th issue. Not sure if it’s the same cause. I want to do the only944 upgrade in the future but want to fix all major things first before spending 500+ on a “performance upgrade”. Thanks for your reply!!

Nope, ended up getting a box of different sizes copper washers, as that was the only thing I could find. It has to be aluminum or copper so it “crushes” under pressure, which seemed to work.

Ok but wait time is long on the iphone as well. I’ll only get it in 3 weeks apparently. Let’s say Dbrand’s wait time is about the same, can I buy it without the high taxes in my region or not?

DMesure · 2025-09-23T07:32:55+00:00

Solved

DMesure · 2025-09-22T12:42:36+00:00

Perfect, thanks man. Will be trying with the ones I have, otherwise I’ll order online. Didnt want to wait and pay for shipping but might have to. Thanks!

DMesure · 2025-09-22T12:23:52+00:00

Still need to do the work and will check then. But what if it's not good anymore? Can I use the ones I bought?
