Hi There

Struggling to get central locking motor drivers side, got one off breaker with correct part number, but Ford say it needs two connectors, suppliers saying there is only one connector on drivers side, going round in circles, part number 87BG-220A20-B1B Ford parts say this is right number

Advice appreciated

don't know what's going on with Ford, saying two connectors, wish had expert or enthusiast who knows what they are doing with classic Fords, want to get my car back on the road . in perfect working condition

Mine is G reg 1989, a simple part but Ford saying two connectors, when breakers suppliers on e bay saying this is one, who is right?

All mk4 motors are single connector

I have asked Ford to supply a photograph of the faulty part in my car showing connectors etc, hopefully this will help

ok Ford supplied these photos of the part in my car, and is the part required, two connectors?

Thats the window motor

Hate to admit it, but looks like as many have said Ford don't know what they are doing need dedicated technician, need to get her back and central locking working again :-(

mk2grp1

they took pictures of your electric window motor

This is crazy lol, they have always worked on my car and did a good job, but think there is prob only one senior tech there now that was there in the 80's

If you need to be a senior tech to differentiate between a central locking motor and a window motor then I'm gonna join the motor-trade as the equivalent of god

BTW the window motors are sided but they were available across a few Fords of the era (the motor only not the whole motor/regulator assembly) if that is the part you actually need? (tho thats one of the cleanest assemblies ive seen in a long time - i know the inside "could" be mullered but i doubt it)

I need the central locking motor for the drivers side

Have you taken yours apart? They are really simple mechanisms and its usually corrossion (green mess on the copper contacts) that stops them working properly. Easily fixed with some contact cleaner, a wire brush and some patience

I doubt Ford will have taken it apart, will pass on your advise, just hope the work on the locking motor not the window motor 🙄

I'd be very suprised if a dealership would even touch it like that. Dealerships dont fix things... they just replace them

Good news thanks to a local old school garage she is back and fixed they sourced the correct part from a XR3i that was being broken took it off the car and on to mine, and for the record TWO CONNECTORS

no1fanofcolin

mine had two connectors, local old school garage sorted and she is back on the road
