Saff Central Locking Problem

The Crocodile Hunter · 22-02-2010, 06:49 PM

Does anyone know what causes the central locking to 'cycle' when you try to lock the car??

it just unlocks itself, then tries to lock again, and so on

i've checked there is no locks siezed up and it all seems fine??

had a similar problem on a mk4 escort years ago but i can't remember what caused it

anyone got any ideas?

i had exactly the same problem a whilse ago and i had to change the unit. fortunately i had a spare, but i took it all apart and couldnt see anything wrong, but once i had changed it, it worked perfectly again. touch wood

one of the door locks motors is playing up......

is it 2 or 4wd?

if it's 2wd then i'd grease the locking bars first to see if this stops the problem

if it's 4wd then it's more likely to be the motors

either way, try disconnecting the fronts side by side first to see which one is causing the probelm
