FTO AUSTRALIA

I just need some info,

At the moment my central locking is not very central, if I lock the drivers door from the inside or the outside with the key, I can hear the selenoid in the door doing its thing, but the passanger door dosent move.
Also if I lock or unlock the passanger door either with the key or from inside I cant hear the selenoid doing anything.

So can someone check that if you lock the passanger door with the key the central locking locks the drivers door.

And if it does where can I get a slave FTO selenoid?

I think this is a common problem. I know it's certainly happening to mine, but I'm going to put a new alarm in it so I'm not that worried.

Other than that there's a DIY thing about fixing it here if you wanna do it yourself

Yeah as mentioned its a common thing to go. You cant actually just buy the solenoid, Mitsi will hit up for about $500 to replace the whole assembly.

Best bet is to go to a Jaycar or similar & grab an aftermarket central locking kit. Here's another link for the 'how to'

i replace both my left & right side lol ... friggin standard one sux big time

I put in an aftermarket central locking kit within the first week of having the car. You can't look cool when you need a key to open your doors. :p

I'm interested to know... does the fto come with remote boot release? Is there actually an actuator connected to the boot release line?

When i got my immobiliser connected, the guy said said there's no boot release. My imob remote has a boot release button, but since the FTO doesnt have a boot release mech, the button is used as decoration.

32 bucks from Jaycar will get you a boot release device, then you just have to wire it up.
