Title: central locking
Post by: magnus-barelegs on November 28, 2014, 11:49:44 AM
my central locking works OK on 3 doors but one of the rear doors doesn't lock I haven't a clue how long it has been this way as I have never checked the doors after pressing the button. Until my son opened the rear door before I had unlocked it I was unaware of the problem it could have been like this ever since I've owned it.

the door does lock manually

Gaiter wiring I would look at first, this is most common.
The drivers door usually suffers more due to it being used more, although it's not unheard of for the rear's and tailgate to cause problems.

Nice work! [GJ] Certainly looks worthy of reference library material to me.
