Hi there Gman,

I have done a How 2 for remote central locking.

The Bosch unit was often used on the Zafira-A and Astra-G.
It should be wired up the same way as the Kiekert module as used on the the early Vectra-B and Omega-B.

The Megamos units were used on later Vectra-B and Omega-B.

So - yes the Bosch unit can be fitted to the Vectra-A.

Here is a load of info for you:-

I have fitted both Kiekert and Megamos units to my Cavalier / Vectra-A with good success. :)

My Kiekert unit is now on a Vectra-A in Egypt ;)

There are two things to think about -

1 - Is the battery in the remote key fob working?
The little red led should illuminate when you press the buttons.

Also - have you synchronised the key to the module?
Ignition on,
Press key lock button
Press key unlock button

The locks should now respond to the key buttons.

2 - If the central locking module is not working from the key, look at the Megamos module install.
On that version, you need to connect the red wire on the small plug.
I think it is pin 18.
Connect the red wire on this plug to the thick red wire in the original 12 pin plug.

I have seen the fob you describe.
It is a fob for the Astra-G, Zafira-A and some Vectra-B.

Unlike the normal fobs that we see, yours does not have a key built in.

But it should still work, and the leds should light up when you press the buttons.

If you press lock on the fob, the doors lock and then unlock -
It may be either:-
1 - the passenger side lock is sticking in the unlock position. This will cause the driver's lock to unlock.

In extreme cases, the locks will cycle many times between lock and unlock until the safety mechanism disables the motors.

2 - You may have to fit a passenger side lock motor to the driver's door, and leave the micro-switch wiring connected, but remove it from around the key barrel.
Tie the switch out of the way.

First - check your wiring again.

Note - the Vectra-B alarm will not operate the door motors from the boot / hatch key lock.
