Default Central locking problems

Hi there,
I wonder if anyone can tell me the exact position of the central locking security module?
I thought it was by the battery, but cannot see it??

My central locking is playing up and want to check that its not been water soaked, as this seems to be a common theme.

I found an ecu box by the battery, I think, all was dry and well, but no aerial point for the security system, so assume this was not it?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Al

I'm sure other will chime in, but meanwhile check fuse #15 on both left and right fascia fuse boxes. This has been the culprit for the "locking dance" on a few occasions.

AFAIK, the Module is located Underneath the Fuse Box in the Trunk.

When hunting for modules, it often helps to know what they look like. Here's the locations and drawings of them:

Is the locking dance when you unlock and the doors lock and unlock themselves several times ?
