Central locking

[neil f]

Hello. First post so hope this is appropriate /right way to do it.
I have reprogrammed a new remote lock. Door panel off - pressed reset on the little black box . The unit now recognises the key - you can hear it click and move the lock slightly (it sort of twitches) but it doesn't drive it open. Am thinking maybe the solenoid isn't sending the right signal but could be miles off with that. Does anyone have any thoughts ?
Thank you
Neil

Welcome aboard!
Sounds like the solenoid motor just isn't developing enough power either the lock is jammed/out of alignment or the solenoid has failed. If the remote fob module is responding to they key then its not the radio link side that is the problem

Thanks v much

Do you know where the solenoid is located ? I think it is a cheap part but am not sure where it is ? In the door panel perhaps?

Its mounted inside the door just below the lock, you need to remove the door trim and open the sealing plastic to gain access these pictures are about replacing the door loom wiring but also show the location of the door lock wires etc http://www.g8dhe.net/bongo_images/Drive ... .php?ind=2
