2003 S With Central Locking Problems

[dermot76]

Hi, as the title says, i have a 2003 s. The central locking is acting up now. The passenger door does not open/close along with the rest of the doors, apart from maybe one in 20 times. Would this be a simple fix to sort this out or what? Any ideas ?

If its a 2003, isn't it still under warranty? If so back to the dealer I would go ASAP! :) - door lock problems can be simple, sometimes just requiring oiling of a sticking component, but they are relatively complicated and you have to get inside your door card (which is never easy to do without breaking bits unless you know exactly where all the clips are). Also, it may be electrical rather than mechanical. Try getting your head down near the door that doesnt work and then try unlocking. If you hear no signs of movement (ie no noise) from that door, then chances are theres an electrical problem. If you hear some kind of movement, then chances are its mechanical - obvious, but worth pointing out :)

As I say - if its under warranty, get back to that thayre dealer and let them spend hours for free fixing it :D
