Auxiliary Fuse Box Location - C4

It probably sounds really stupid but I hadn't realised that my C4 has power locks. The penny dropped when I took the door card off to inspect the passenger lock and I saw the actuator in the base of the door. They haven't been working since I had the car so I hadn't really missed them but now I know that they are there I feel they should work. Ignorance really is bliss.

Everything mechanically looks ok but neither side work so the first thing to do was to check the appropriate fuse which lurks under the passenger side dashboard beneath the 'hush pane'l/light surround in the auxiliary fuse box. Here....

The hush panel is the black plastic box that is screwed to the upper part of the dashboard with two 7mm screws. A third screw is hidden behind the fuse panel at the right hand side of the dashboard.

You have to remove the three Torx head screws first which releases the main fuse box surround....

... and the third 7mm screw holding on the hush box is found at the lower right...

After releasing the velcro that holds the red dash material round the hush box, the box can be manoeuvred down to reveal the auxiliary fuse panel, centrally placed but far in the distance....

You need to be a bit of a contortionist to get to it and see what's going on, but the door lock fuse is the second fuse from the left (blue 15 Amp) - fortunately at the front.

The fuse was blown but disappointingly fitting a new one hasn't fixed anything so further investigation is required. Probably new actuators ...Let's see what Rockauto can come up with....

There are two fuses related to power door locks
Do the door locks and hatch latch work when using the key FOB ?

Check out the KPE module, CCM and the grounds for it and the door locks

Thanks for sending this diagram. I should have said which year my car is - sorry for that. My 1992 C4 doesn't have the PKE key fob. I think this was introduced on the 1993 model which possibly explains the fuse rating difference (15A on the '92 and 20A on the '93) as well. Presumably the diagram for the '92 model will be different?

OK here is for 1992
As I marked, starting at top a 30 amp circuit breaker

Then that goes to the power lock fuse, test at that fuse to see if getting the 12 volts from that breaker
Check starting at bottom right the main ground for door locks
Check pin A of each switch to see if getting the 12 volts
As noted each DL motor has a circuit breaker

Else issue is the CCM or wiring from it to the DL motors

Many thanks for sharing this diagram and your recommendations for trouble shooting - I'll be back on this over the next couple of days so I'll go through these steps and see what I find.

You're Welcome
Also check if the DL switches work for lock and/or unlock as you might find they work one way but
not the other would help you to debug the problem
