Why does my car look in really good nick but another things

Postby Syn » Sat Sep 20, 2008 11:41 am

BROKEN!! lol

Central lockings gone now, only had the car a week n its doing my head in. Drivers side door is now refusing to lock, im thinking its the typical motor problem? Passenger side locks, but when u unlock it through the alarm it now unlocks then locks 2 seconds later. Took door card off drivers side to take motor out and cant get it out, undid everything but cant find a way to get the wire rod thing that goes to the handle off, so cant remove it??? all the other rods were easy enough to get off, anyone know how?....

If the door is locking and then unlocking or the other way around I'd think the motor is functional enough.. It's more likely to be an electrical problem..check the wiring, any switches and relays involved.. :-) I could be wrong though..

Its working again now. Dunno whats up with it, its got a mind of its own. I think its the motor because the drivers side is a lot slower than passenger side so i think the motors lazy and might be on its way out. Still, cant complain. If anyone does know how to get the thing out the door though let me know.
