Searched and found some great info on central locking problems, specifically this page (http://www.armchair.mb.ca/~dave/BMW/e30/). The troubleshooting section for 89's seems to be where to start. I just thought I'd see if anyone had any input or experienced a similar problem.
Background
-Driver's lock has only locked the car since I bought it.
-Passenger and trunk locked and unlocked the car since I bought it.
-Repaired dome lights + new bulbs recently, but then the timers on them went wacky and they seemed to never come on with open doors except in rare cases.
-Drove through a massive rainstorm recent, high humidity, and passed through some pretty deep water as well.
-Day after that central locking went out.
Now
-Driver's lock does nothing at all.
-Passenger and trunk will only lock and unlock themselves separately.
-Dome lights work perfectly now.
I was reading that the dome light timer and central locking system are related in some way. I'm pretty sure I checked, and all the fuses are fine. Anyone experience this, advice, places to start?
Thanks!
