Central Locking lazy on drivers side?

[Pat_McCrotch 0]

Bit of an odd one this. I've done a quick search but nothing obvious comes up.

 

Basically; every 1 in 2 attempts to unlock the car from the drivers side will result in only the drivers door unlocking and not the other door/boot unlocking. If you unlock the car slowly it the whole car will unlock fine. However do it a little quicker and it's as if the mechanism can't keep up with what you are doing :scratch:

 

The Passenger side lock is absolutely perfect and it doesn't matter how fast you unlock it, it always works first time.

 

Not exactly a major problem but frustrating all the same, any ideas?

do you mean the passenger lock opens the others fine?

If only the lock you were operating with a key works I'd say it was a vacuum leak, perhaps you have a dodgy switch/wiring on the drivers side handle or loom, possibly at the door hinge area where the loom flexes?

I suppose a flex in the air pipe is a good possibility, I will check tomorrow :)

Does it work from the key/alarm fob?
