Side door central locking

Post by paramatt » Mon Nov 26, 2012 12:31 pm

Noticed recently my sliding side door does not centrally lock occassionally. I thought it would be the contact points on the door pillar, so cleaned them up with glass paper.
Today it seems to have stopped completely- so cleaned it up again- but no change!
I've now taken the door card off, but can't get the inner handle off to have a proper look- any ideas?
It would appear the locking motor is not working, as the door locks manually. Can I get a new motor, or anyone got a spare?
Thanks


Matt

Well, I got the handle off!
Just had another look with the door card and damp shield pulled back. All rods seem to be connected, wires appear intact. All sprayed up with WD40........and its all working again!!
Now to see if it fails again over time.
Can't think what it can be?

This persistent damp weather....? :roll: Had a small issue with the negative triggers for the courtesy lights recently... & i take em out & clean em along with a sunroof and door runner lube every spring... A little tap & they work! :wink:
Cheaper by comparison to a race horse...
