Driver's door won't close
« on: 28 March 2019, 16:21:25 »

As above....just bounces back. I'm on my way to work by train now, car will spend the night unlocked on a parking lot :-[
Did it happen to anyone? Do parts from MFL fit to FL because I believe I still have door mechanism from previous omega somewhere in garage :-\

As far as the mechanical latch and locking motor concerned, they are the same across all Omega B :y

The black plastic doofer that catches on the pillar pin will be stuck down in the lock position.  ;D

Yep, might even be as simple as operating the handle to free it, failing that, give it a prod as it may have stuck (worth taking the lock mech out and giving it a good clean and oiling if so.

No, it moves freely but doesn't lock. I tried it with a screwdriver

Unfortunately a common problem with a few lots of the door locks. Had the same problem driving on the highway which is actually no fun in corners. :o Don’t waste time on fixing the locking system, get a new / second hand one.

I had a sticking interior handle on a pre-facelift which stopped the door from staying closed.

Pushing the handle back allowed the door to latch.

Came home and found out I only had front and rear driver's side locking mechanism...thought I had all four, but luckily I somehow had the one I needed :y All fine now with mechanism replaced, works as good as new. Thanks for help
