Title: Another Central locking question.
Post by: dizaster on 22 July 2010, 17:35:17

Hi

Up until I had to remove the car battery for recharging my CL has been working fine.

But now .

Driver door doesnt lock with the remote ,  but will lock fine with the key.

The remote locks and unlocks all the other locks fine and dandy.

Unlike a previous posters problem ,  all my locks stay locked when I lock with remote or key.

Is it just a coincience that it packed in after I removed the battery ??

Cheers.

Thanks for the quick reply .

Tried the re-sync , but no joy.

Do the door solonoids(??)  have individual fuses ??,  clutching at straws now  :-)

No, all on fuse 20. You might get away with a little lube (dry stuff like PTFE spray) under the rubber of the solonoid and a few lock/unlock sequences. It all depends which microswitch is failing in the solonoid really. :y

If going to the bother of taking the solenoid out I would replace it or the microswitch, TBH. It is bound to play up again, especially if grease finds its' way into the microswitch.

The second microswitch is only used to detect when the door is (un)locked manually using the button, and results in the other 3 doors (un)locking with it.
