Hi everyone,
I just switched over from the e28 world to the e30. Love the car, but long story short, my power locks don't work. I did some reading and it sounded like the lock control module. So i picked up a new one from a local dealer, and took the panel off near the driver side speaker and unplugged the old one and put the new one in. BUT THE LOCKS STILL DO NOT WORK. The tumbler was just replaced as i made them replace it before i bought the car. the trunk nor the passenger side activate the power locks either. I can open them manually but it feels much more difficult as opposed to what the power lock should feel like on my brothers e30... kind of like its assisted. There is no electrical clicking or noise or anything. Does anyone have any clue where i should go next? When i took the panel apart i found the remnants of an old (I mean ancient) alarm system just left under the dash on the panel above the clutch and petals but none of it was connected to anything just the power module a bunch of relays and about a mile of disconnected wiring. I am wondering if any of these empty pigtails under here should be connected to something. None of them seem to match each other so im not sure what they were supposed to be connected to. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I love the new car but having no power locks is kind of a bummer. Let me know and thanks again!
