The central locking control box in the Excelle is located beneath the center console. The central locking system refers to the central control door lock, which enhances both convenience and driving safety. The Excelle is a compact car under the SAIC-GM Buick brand, with exterior dimensions of 4468mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1469mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2611mm. It features a 4-door, 5-seater sedan body structure. The Excelle is equipped with a 1.3L naturally aspirated engine, with an L-type cylinder arrangement and multi-point electronic fuel injection. It is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The vehicle's suspension system consists of a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a compound torsion beam non-independent rear suspension, with a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout.

I've been driving my Excelle for several years, and the central locking control box is usually located on the inner side of the driver's door or under the dashboard. If you remove the door panel, you'll see a small plastic box connected to wires, responsible for controlling the signals of all door locks. Last time when my lock malfunctioned, I found it myself behind the plastic panel after removing a few screws. It's best to disconnect the battery before inspection to avoid short circuits, as aging circuit boards or loose wires inside the box can easily cause issues. Regular cleaning of the connectors can prevent malfunctions. The design of the Excelle is quite practical, but be careful when repairing it yourself—using a multimeter to check the voltage is much safer.

As a longtime owner of the Buick Excelle, I'd like to share the location: The central locking control box is located inside the driver's side door panel or under the dashboard near the steering wheel. After opening the door panel, you can gently pull to see the small box connected to the wiring harness—avoid forcing it to prevent damaging the plastic clips. Once located, mainly check the tightness of the wiring connections; tightening loose connections can resolve door-locking issues. Last time, I found moisture had corroded the box's contacts, and cleaning them promptly restored functionality. If you can't locate it yourself, refer to the owner's manual or online diagrams—this box is crucial for the Excelle model. If it fails and affects safe parking, replacement is necessary, but simple DIY repairs are manageable.

From a vehicle maintenance perspective, the Excelle central locking control module is typically installed on the inner side of the driver's door or beneath the dashboard. This small box coordinates the operation of all door lock systems, with its location designed for easy access by owners and technicians. I've encountered cases where moisture caused failure due to rainwater leakage corroding wiring terminals, making regular rust inspection crucial. Exercise caution when locating it to avoid scratching interior trim. Professional shops can perform more accurate circuit testing with specialized tools. Remember to keep windows and doors properly closed to prevent dust accumulation.
