Central locking messed up.

Hi all, central locking playing up. Autolock not engaging as usual when hitting the 10mph trigger. Same when pressing the lock button under the AC controls. Can hear a faint electrical ticking type noise as if trying to kick in.
Central locking doesn't work with fob from outside car but can hear the mechanical locking noise, also get the red led indicator on drivers door, again nothing locks.
When use key in drivers door it locks, but on second turn it doesn't lock other 3 doors as it should. As there's no physical locking buttons on the doors it means cannot lock car. Poor poor design.
To make things worse it seems intermittent as it has kicked back in once or twice.
Most of what I've read suggests CCM but cannot find location for it.
Any info appreciated.....

Ha! Edit! My bad, on the edge of each door is a small rubber grommet with a lock sign on it....hmmm. remove this and similar to the child locks, small slot to turn with key to mechanically lock each door, then either unlock whole car with fob, which strangely still works, or inside with door handles. Can sleep tonight without worrying about an unlocked car!
Also the ccm we found just above the accelerator pedal, difficult to get to but least we know where.
Will try at weekend to remove/clean plugs and connections to see if helps.
