INFO: Central locking ECU/wiring for remote

Post by Blackie_No1 »

I got myself an after market alarm system for my wee corsa, which also operated the central locking via remote. The problem I came across was finding the central locking ECU and finding which wires I needed to tap into to lock/unlock the car.

Some forums suggested that the central locking control unit was "beneath" the cars main ecu and perhaps I took it too literally as I looked beneath/below(as in lower down) and couldn't find it. IMO it is "behind" the main ecu:

Once I removed it and it's bracket I was able to access the central locking brain:

Also to help any other folk installing an alarm or remote central locking, the wires you need from the central locking control unit are

Brown/red - lock

Brown/white - unlock

I hope this is useful for others :)
