i have had this car for 2 years, the central locking has never worked.
the remote flashes but nothing happens, even when key is used i have to lock each door manually.
there is no noises or motors trying to work throughout the car.

If your locking does not work, even manually, then check that you have the control unit. Mine is an R reg and it is just above the throttle pedal, it has 2 plugs: a yellow and a blue. Make sure they are both fitted.

Hi William, you might find the answer on the following sites, the first has a section just about c/locking faults www.mirez.co.uk and then you could try www.fordmoneoownersclub.co.uk hope this helps.
