Hi,
Can someone advise me of the location of my central locking module on my 635csi 1989. The central locking has stopped operating recently. I have replaced the fuse no 27. Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Ash

Re: Central Locking Module
The module itself is accessed through the glovebox - open the box and pull out the plastic pins securing the straps either side and lower it down, then unclip the vinyl panel from the back of it. On the right you should see a black plastic cover retained by 2 small screws - these secure the cover to the c/l module behind through an L-shaped metal bracket that in turn screws into the bulkhead above - remove the screws and cover to get to the module (no need to remove the bracket).
I actually just this morning swapped mine over (11/87 production date) as my locking hasn't worked since i bought the car 2 years ago - now working perfectly thanks to a £30 2nd hand replacement via ebay (at that price i didn't even bother troubleshooting the old one...). Note - apparently you shouldn't disconnect / connect the module with the battery connected.
Here's my original and replacement - original is the newer looking one on the right (note someone damaged the case of the old one removing the connector - watch out for the plastic retaining lug; mine came out fine by pushing this down when unplugging). The old one has the same part # (61311380302) but is additionally stamped '101' and '287' whereas the replacement says 201 and 288. Minor difference in the cases too but it seems to function perfectly, interested to hear if anyone knows of material differences (i think the same part was used on the e23 and e30 too so bound to be some minor revisions over time).
Also - anyone know if these are serviceable? Per the pic the old one has no visible signs of damage (i.e. no scorching or water ingress) but i've not opened it up to inspect. Its going into the bin unless anyone here wants it...
Nice to see a fellow Londoner on here btw Ash

Re: Central Locking Module
Thankyou both for your replies.
James, the step by step guide as to how to find and remove the module was very much appreciated. It was a bit tough to remove but I managed to remove it after a brief struggle.
Kind Regards

Re: Central Locking Module
Jumping on this thread for some feedback.
Having trouble with the central locking on my 1988 US M6. Putting feelers out for a new module, but wanted to check if I’m reading the wiring diagram correctly. The locking was working fine - all positions could control the central lock/unlock function. Then suddenly no lock could control the central lock/unlock. But a couple times since it has worked, at least from the driver’s door. As part of testing the system: is it correct that if I put a jumper between terminals 2 and 3 the whole system should unlock?
Thanks
Scott
