[Nemesis]

Hi all, here's one that stumped me for a while, I have a 2001 51 plate 2.6CD

I had an intermittent fault with my central locking, the car would lock but not deadlock on the second press of the keyfob.

Now if I'm right (and I might not be!) it turned out that the pinswitch on the drivers side that operates the interior lights was dirty, and if the light had not operated when the door opened then the car's central locking didn't think you'd left so wouldn't deadlock!

I took the swich out disconnected the spade and applied a healthy dose of WD40 to it and havn't suffered at all since, is this a well known issue?

Cheers all

Nem...
