Ok dam central locking playing up now, if i try and lock the drivers side door it locks and unlocks straight away asif the other door was open, but if i lock it from the passenger door it locks fine, any ideas before i rip the doors apart.

Also electric windows been playing up in the same door goes down fine but doesn't go up very well unless u keep on pushing up and letting go of the switch and pushing up again and eventurly it'll go up, get worse aswell the lower the window is down.

Any ideas Cheer Baz

 

could be a dirty mechanism, your goign to have to bite the bullet and take all the door bits off i think

 

witch side do u recon, it sounds like the passenger door side isn't telling the drivers side it shut is there a switch or a lever to a switch that might have come lose on the passneger door, and the switch is only being activated using the key in the passenger door but saying that it locks if u push the lever on the passenger door, so i don't have a clue actually .

 

,.

 

Any more ideas guys got to get it fixed since i got the doors in bits and got too go and pick my bro up at 3.30

 

it may just need a bit of lube mate! If not give me details of ur car and i'll look up prices for you!

 

Cheers Lucylou and RS Monkey looks like i'll just have to rip it all apart and have a look, bloody cars been nothing but trouble the last couple of months, i'll let u know if i need any new bits cheers guys,

 

Think i found the problem the passenger side solenoid was really weak and sloppy so i took it apart and the motor had got water in it and basically got fooked, but was still signalling fine to the other side telling it too lock, but obviously not moving when the driver side solenoid was telling it too move

Right got any ideas on the price of a Near side solenoid unit, going to be expensive since ford electrics are, if its too much i'll just pop along to the scrappy.

 

Mine done the xcact same mate. I took the solinoid apart and giv it a clean and a bit of wd40 and it was fine after that. Bit of a bastard putting it back together again.

 

i'll give that a try mate, motorlooks dam rusty but i'll do anything rather than buy one. , let u know weather or not it works out
