Title: Drivers Door not Locking With Remote
Post by: ub7rm on February 05, 2011, 05:42:21 pm

Anyone come across this before:

The drivers door wont lock via the remote, all the others do.  It does lock fine using the blade.

It unlocks no problem with the remote but there is a slightly different noise than usual?  Tried dousing inside the barrel with WD40 and the bits I can see via a little rubber gromit in the side of the door.

Any pointers welcome.

I had a similar problem recently - it wouldn't unlock on the driver's side with the remote, just with the key. It started temporamental and got worse. Diagnosed as driver's door lock actuator needing replaced - £100 for the part, same in labour at an Indie. £345 at the Stealers.
