S2 Central Dock Locking - Satisfied Customer

[SMP]

Just a heads up for anyone with an S2 having central door locking issues - appears it’s a fairly common issue.

Mine packed up a couple of weeks or so ago, and after a little digging I came across this page on SELOC - https://wiki.seloc.org/a/Central_Locking_Module_Replacement

However, getting my sticky little paws on a replacement CDL module is not as easy / cheap as I’d hoped.

I then came across this page - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lotus-Elise-S2-Switch-Pack-Module-Repair-Service-/163541462818

For £40 including registered post return and a turnaround of less than 4 days including a weekend I can only recommend using Paul’s services. That was for a UK car, but he does post overseas also.

No link other than a very satisfied customer - well recommended 👍🤘

The instructions are right though - it’s a sod to remove / refit 😂

I've had to use my key in the door lock to operate the locks for 18mths now on my 05' S2 ! Will this fix the issue ? Thanks in advance Simon.

Hi Simon,

Very likely - it's usually one or both relays on the circuit board that fail and this is what gets replaced by default.

I think the only part that can't be replaced is the actual microprocessor but that's apparently a very rare failure.

Si.

If you can solder the relays are really cheap. I did my fog lights which I believe is the same relay. I posted some pictures when I did it
