[Mark McCulloch]

Hiya Guys,

Having one or two problems with my january 2000 avensis 1.8 GS just recently this has started that when i use the key fob to lock the doors it does however when using key fob to unlock the hazards flash and doors stay locked if i lock doors from the lock with key they all lock if i unlock doors with key in lock only drivers door unlocks however i can lock and unlock all doors with the switch on the drivers arm rest and also the alarm does not seem to be activating.

Anyone got any ideas guys?

have you tried holding the unlocking button down or pressing it twice?

[Mark McCulloch]

Yeah I have and the hazards just flash. its just a very recent problem, however once or twice when just pressing the unlock button out of curiosity it has unlocked doors but then the problem re starts.

Ive just been and unplugged the integration relay (central door control reciever) for 5 - 10 mins to try and reset it however the problem remains.

Been to two electricians today and both say different things one says definetely a relay is the problem and the other says central locking pump as in the actuator sender unit.

Anyone got any ideas?

Problem discovered it is a faulty actuator in the drivers door upon removing the wiring to it all my other doors are unlocking and locking along with alarm setting therefore looks like door just needs water dried out of actuator or a replacement.

The Avensis has trouble with the central locking unit down in the kick well on the drivers side, also could be a brocken wire in the door loom(the wiring between the door and the car) ;)
