drivers side rear door wont lock with CL

Post by Gary406 »

ive asked this before but never got any answers so i'm gonna ask again :mrgreen:

my drivers side rear door fails to lock and unlock with the remote central locking.

sometimes it works fine but recently its not working more than it is working.

what could be causing this ?

Your best bet is to take the door card off,
and try lock it and sit and watch what is getting stuck,

something will be getting stuck or needs some Wd40

It could be a duff solenoid or a broken wire (choice is where they go from the a-post into the door). It could be just stiff I suppose, what's it like locked manually?
