Central Locking acting strangely

[quicky1980 0]

I opened the drivers side door and it didnt open the passengers side. Was working fine just before this. Is this a loose wire possibly or actual problem with the mechanism.

Does everything else open? If so then it's a problem with the actuator or a split pipe etc (not electrical)

yeah its done it on mine before. Opens everything else fine. Its intermitten

nothing else opens unless i use the passengers side door to unlock. this door opens the boot

When you open the car you should hear a relay click. If not then that may be your fault. Also, remove the pipe from the CL unit in the bootand blow down it to see if you can open the locks that way. If so that means your pipework is OK. If not then i'd check the pipes going to the passenger lock. Try that first and see how you get on.

using the passengers side door it opens that door and the boot so i guesse the cl is working ok.

I checked behind the door card and couldnt see any wires disconnected.

Isnt the drivers side dor electrically operated if so im wondering if the main switch wire is broke to the cl pump. which wire is this?

any help would be great

I dare say you had the boot/door lock in the wrong position to begin with and have now got it in the right position through messing around with it, I remember doing the same once.

 

Glad it sorted! :cheers:

hmm never thought of that being a possibilty.

Well hopefully its just as Waslesy said. Thanks again to you all.

It could also be your handle playing up...I also had that once, it started doing all kinds of strange things, sometimes it wouldn't open the fuel flap , or the boot , etc etc and it got worse and worse. When the handle got changed it was sorted. I think it may be something to do with the barell itself?
