Hy, my ducato seems to have parts fitted that are from later versions, took out door panel because lock-leaver was heavy, found a electric cable going to the lock mechanism.
looked for part online and found it to be a 2002-2006 (picture attached) . wiring loom is fitted looks like factory install... repair manual schedule does not include central locking ?

Also repair manual i have does not include how to install new window (sliding) glass, is there a manual that tells you the right order ? normal haynes manuals do also help installing these kind of parts.

The x244 is a developement of the x230. It is often described as a "facelift" but there was more to it than that, however the basic body including doors are the same shape. Hence I would expect instuctions for changing the window on an x244, to be applicable to the x230.

I have extracted the specified operation from my copy of x244 Fiat eLearnan attached. If you require the details for the associated operations, x244 eLearn is available in the forum "Downloads" section. See black banner at top of page. Alternatively you may be able to find them here.

I think that for the x244 electric windows, and central locking were part of an option pack, which also included electrically operated mirrors. Both windows, and central locking use the same control unit M135 (ABI), which on my x244 RHD is located behind the glovebox. I have not after many years of ownership fully reconciled the assumed "ABI" module with the wiring diagrams. The ABI module on my vehicle appears to have 3 rows of connections, while the diagrams suggest only 2 rows?

On the x244 the optional equipment is supplied from a RHS cab fusebox, but I do not know how the power could be supplied on an x230.

If the central locking is not working on your vehicle, and are you still locking each door separately?
