I've had my 2016 R1200RT for a couple of weeks now and overall am very happy with my purchase, and have just returned home from a three day tour with some mates. Initially the central locking worked very well with the BMW small topbox, but now it's stopped working, and I need to lock and unlock the top box using the key. The manual push puttom to open the top box works fine. The Pannier and Gloveboxes central locks are still working OK. Is there a battery concealed in the top box somewhere that the central locking uses to power the locking mechanism? Any suggestions would be appreciated, because in the very short time that I've owned the bike, I've come to appreciate the convenience of the central locking.
