still does not lock . But if unplugged can lock passenger door which locks all three other doors and boot
and have to lock drivers door manual unplugged from central locking . Pulled all plugs out sprayed with electric plug oil put then all back plugged doir back in try to lock car but lock motors go lock the car then reverse back to open drivers door is the problem before I go buying any more parts for it .

Try pulling back the rubber loom gator where door meets body and check for broken wires in there, quick easy Check and common on old vehicles
