Default Central locking given up the ghost

My central locking has decided it has had enough and won't lock the doors except driver's, and most of the time, won't unlock them either.

The driver's door works every time, so I'm looking for something that is common to the other three doors.

Unfortunately the page with the diagram is missing from my electronic manual, so I'm after either a couple of pointers or if someone has a link to the right page.

Any help will be much appreciated

think theres a little black control box in the passenger side kick panel. this sometimes gets water in it and causes all sorts of problems could be this. when you find it it pops open quite easy and you will see if theres water contamination on it.

Cheers dude, I'll go check it now.

It's now emergency as the back doors won't lock even from inside by hand- the catches won't move across and I'm supposed to be going out tonight

Mate, you're a diamond
Got it out and poured all the water out, and am now trying to clean it up and reseal it.
THANKS!!

Still a bit ropey so I've removed it, and will post up in the wanted section.

Where does the water get into the car to damage this? I'm still after one, as the temporary repair is now not playing the game again.

I'll have to mount it the other way up to prevent the ingress of water, but it'd be nice to know where it gets into the car so I can cure that.
