Central locking working inside but not with the key?

Recommended Posts

Got a '94 VR6 - on the driver's door, the key has suddenly stoped locking/opening the central locking but will lock/open just the driver's door. From inside the car, if I lock the driver's door by pushing down the knob, the CL works fine, and likewise, the CL is perfect on the passenger's door.

 

Have tried to remove the door handle, sprayed with WD40 esp where the wires are connected but no joy! Any clues? And to remove the handle completely, do I have to remove the door card to get to the back of the handle?

 

Cheers

had a look inside and:

 

- orange (air?) pipe firmly attached

- connectors from 3 wires of handle clean/well connected

- no sign of metal rod from push knob catching anywhere

- it did work once when I was messing around (and that was with the connctors unattached?!)

 

So am guessing the micro switch(?) in the handle has dies? If so, can I switch over the passenger handle with the driver's handle?

 

Cheers
