Title: Non urgent - door locks
Post by: JohnM on 12 February 2009, 20:15:05

So, Gents (and gals also of course) your deeper thoughts on this if you please;

I feel this may have to run it's course and clear or fail properly to know for sure.

Drivers door (others okay):

Started to not lock on first fob press but locked on deadlock (always use deadlocks). Button didn't drop and could open the door until deadlocked.

Then progressed to lock okay, fail to open on fob. Key opened fine with little pressure.  If opened on key alone, alarm triggered.

Last weekend I gave it a (very) liberal spray with some light mech oil in the key barrel.

Today, informed that car locked and unlocked as expected okay.  Until the last two openings when it reverted back to not locking until deadlocked.

I know it has been a little cold, but there's really no need for such hassles.


PS. I know, I've not been around so much lately - just busy that's all.

I've had a similar problem with the passenger door.
However, now it doesn't move at all with the key fob, it has to be opened and locked by manually lifting the button from inside.

Will mine be the cdl motor as well.?
If so, is there a guide to swapping it on here.?

Thanks,

Poo said the bear, but thanks.  Kinda suspected I suppose, and shame really given it's history.

Any thoughts on how long it'll last before I wish I'd changed it long ago?  Will warmer air help (it'll certainly help me ...).

Anyone got a spare motor for John - best PM me or the thread will get moved.

Ah, be most appreciated.

Remind me, does the door card need to be off or can you fiddle fingers it from the side.

PM sent - can I call next Sat, best time for you?  Still WB?
