Old RF unit has toasted the lock motors by the sound of it.

Can you lock the doors from the inside? If some don't the locks will have burnt out.

Hmm.. what year is your car? The later ones would sync the key when it goes in the ignition, and the earlier ones have a different procedure

1995

If the FOB locks and unlocks the back doors it can't be a FOB sync issue.

Possible wiring issue from the A pillar to the door...or from the Outstation to the lock...

If the Fob works the other locks, no sync issue...if the sill buttons work, lock motors are fine...

Next is to check the wiring to/from th BeCM as the signal to unlock isn't getting to the lock motors!

ive tried mozzs re sync instructions and it made no change still only back doors locking ive ordered a new drivers lock to see if it makes a difference

well after messing about with the locks all day i have got the passenger side to work on the fob it was a sticky connection and lock tab sticking on the door panel but alas the drivers side is fubar previous owner has butchered the wiring and cut the some of the wires to the plugs and botched the wires no wonder it wont work so new lock ordered should be with me by the weekend fingers crossed got a new bit of the loom with plugs attached from the salvage yard so will hopefully get it sorted when the lock arrives

new drivers lock arrived and all doors working on fob now had to patch in a new section of loom as previous owner had just cut the wires and half of them were just bare and the plugs were cut off nearly 4 hours in the cold to get it all working again
