Subject: LRO: Central locking.
>Today when using my 89 RR for a trip to work (yesterday the alternator
light came on on my winter beater Buick) I noted that the central
locking mechanism was not functioning. Went to the gas station to fill
up and realised the need for the system to work.
In our '91 Range Rover, the fuel filler cover has its own button and
relay. It is not (to my knowledge) tied to the door locking system.
I've had the cover stick once, where it would not release when the
button was pushed. This was because the cover had been bent
slightly on its hinges, and the locking bar couldn't retract from the
locking tab. It just took a second to "reposition" the cover to
eliminate the binding. But perhaps the '89 model uses a different
locking system. Failure of the passenger door locking system might
be a failure of the central door locking "computer."
