Central locking
Central locking
Hi, got a niggly issue with the central locking, every now and then, the drivers door will only unlock manually from the outside but the buttons driver’s side and passengers side will unlock and lock the doors , today however, the drivers door will only unlock manually and the buttons on the drivers door will not work, the buttons on the passengers door work normally, I’ve never been able to unlock the car outside with the passengers lock as it’s really stiff to turn and I fear the key will bend or snap. Any suggestions would be appreciated thanks
Re: Central locking
I had a similar problem with a stiff lock drivers side, in fact the key refused to go fully home so I couldnt open or lock from the drivers side.
I took the lock out completely and took it apart, cleaning all the fingers till they moved freely. Put it all back together and it all works beautifully. The grease had just got stiff over the years and siezed everything up. Worth tring spraying the lock first though.
