Hi All,

My lovely Bongos sliding door is not auto shutting, contacts look ok, central locking all works fine as does the doors own lock, if I give the door a good push it closes ok but I'm missing that nice auto shut sound!

Any help appreciated.....

Regards,

a little light sanding with some emery cloth on both the door contacts and the ones on the pillar should sort it.

The sanding hasn't fixed it... Could be my attempt at sanding of course! Any other electrical possibilities?

Checked the fuse? No. 17 (15A).

Well checked the fuse...and it looks fine, also swapped it out with another to check... :(

Could there be any other electrical items or relays that could have failed\shorted out? A mechanical failure seems unlikely, maybe a review of the wiring connectivity wold help to pinpoint potential failure points?

Any further advice appreciated...

Regards,

The control module for the sliding door is located in the passenger pillar see this link http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... 14#p627714
The unit does have some replaceable items - i'm working on the circuit at present for inclusion in the wiring diagrams - but not many, the heart of it being a small 4-bit computer, however its not a common item to fail I can't recall anyone reporting it in the last 7 years on the forum! But might be worth checking the connectors.
