Swapping a central locking motor
« on: 09 March 2009, 10:52:56 »

Hi

Could anyone give me a quick heads-up how to do this? The scrap omega needs to go and this is the last bit I'm having off it. I have a problem where the central locking pops every button fully except the drivers door, which stops about 2mm short of opening. I'm gonna WD40 everything today anyhow, but reckon I'll need to swap the motor, correct me if I'm wrong.

Cheers in advance.

From memory .....  ::) I think you've to remove the bracket that's bolted to the end of the door by the latch, 3 Torx counter sunk head screws, first. The motor is fastened to this. The rods are all connected to the motor via a right angled bend on the rod & a plastic clip which holds it in place.
When the door panel is removed it's quite obvious really. Not much room to work in though.

Swapped them both over, and its done the trick...schplendid. A bit of an issue getting one rod popped in but done it now. That old central locking motor was shafted, and refitted into the scrapper, central locking now works perfectly, and poorly on the ex mig!!

Cheers again fellas, top job!
