lazy locking.

Post by nicstrike » Sun Apr 07, 2013 6:47 pm

i have done the usual search but have not really found an issue like ours. typical! the slave locks on our central locking (factory standard key operated) have always been intermittantly "slow" , more so in cold weather. this hasnt really been an issue as given a second or two they would always "pop" but over the last couple of days they have decided to become more stubborn. if the vehicle has stood for an hour or so its a lottery if they will or wont unlock but while running or shortly after turning off all is fine. ive not had a chance to get my hands dirty yet rummaging but i assume there is a voltage issue somwhere (probably pillar to door loom?). any suggestions would be appreciated.

By default if you have a L/B fitted then all the doors other than the drivers door will have been swung across to the L/B as they are controlled from this fuse;

the power for each lock is via this fuse
