Please can someone try to explain what I'm doing wrong with my locking procedure! The van is a new Renault Master. If all the doors are unlocked (I've used the switch on the cab ceiling to make sure!), I go outside. make sure all are closed and press the central locking fob. All doors lock except the back ones.
Twice I've done something that *has* made them lock, but I don't know what it was Usually, I have to open the back door, turn the knob inside and then it's locked - but that's not central
I know I'm thick, so no one needs to be careful how they tell me
Thanks for making me run out and check my Renault master is locked!!!
It is. I obviously don't have a problem . All I do is shut the doors and press the key fob - all doors lock. There is no special trick.Sounds like you have a problem. I would the locking mechanism have it checked at a Renault garage under the warranty.
Thanks Ronidog - yes we were a bit worried to think we'd probably left it several times over our first weekend with the back doors unlocked!! Will do as you suggest and get it checked out.
I had exactly the same problem which I cured by luck. The garage had looked at the van twice but could not find the problem so I booked it in for a real going over.
Before taking it in I decided to give it a bit of a clean. I noticed that at the bottom front edge of the sliding door are two electrical contacts which, I later found out, control the central locking the the sliding door. The contacts had become very dirty and covered in verdigre so I cleaned then using WD40.
Strangely this also cured the remote locking problem with the rear doors and I was then able to cancel the unnecessary visit to the garage.

Will agree with the above, have the same problem on my van. The 2 contacts on the sliding door get a slight film on them which stops the electrical contact being made.
