Sounds like you are doing it right, if the lock pulse is arriving at the remote unit but it's dead it obviously fubar, nothing wrong with the way you are doing the wire testing from your description.
Is there any facility for pulse adjustment on the unit, as some won't detect a very short pulse, some will detect anything.

Default central locing

its only a basic system only cost 30 pound its has nothing just a box with a load of wires no switches or nothing i just thought it was weird how it will only open but if i switch da wire it will unlock it just wont do both. both of wires gives a strong pulse is their any other way to solve this problem other than buying a dearer central locking upgrade thanks
