One off gremlin or something dying
« on: 05 April 2007, 22:38:07 »

[Was  ! Help ! - drivers door remains locked ]

Well I look a nose yesterday inside the driver's door.  Poked about but coundn't see ('cos you can't) and couldn't feel anything off or loose.  So thought, I'll just try it.

Fired up the remote, lock/unlock on demand.  Check locking with door closed (dodgy eh?) and all is well.  Key and/or fob.

Good as gold today.  Couple of short trip shopping and later I've been out.

So, key definately wouldn't work to start with - plenty of oil spray down the keyhole and it worked easily a day later.  When that was freed the electrics locked okay but refused to unlock this one.

Was it just jammed?  It was pretty dry in there, I've put a little grease in places but it is hard to get everwhere in there.

Does anyone have a decent picture of it - I can't quite figure how it is all tied together, for instance I split the smaller 3-pin? plug to the microswitches but the key still fired the central locking (!) - must have missed another cable.

- Door card still off in case (not pretty).
