Title: Must be the month for central locking problems...
Post by: Webby the Bear on 20 January 2014, 18:23:52

...I press ''lock'' on the key fob and every door locks except the driver's door. The other doors then immediately open. I then press the drivers latch down manually and they all shut.

To unlock I press ''open'' and every one opens except the driver's door. I then have to jump in passenger side to manually open the drivers side  ::)

Sometimes when I do the manual lock thing the latch wont press down at all.

Dodgy motor?

Thanks.

Ps, if I hadn't have taken the part off before...this is what I'd be buying, right?

You can repair the motors by replacing the microswitches. ;)

I've never come across one that wasn't fixed by the above. (apart from one which had been horribly butchered)
