DC2/R Central locking problem

[mku01]

hey all.. recently my central stopped working properly, as in the door locks no problem with the remote, but as i want to unlock it, the driver side unlocks 1/3 way or 1/2 which means the door still remains locked..

my alarm usually automatically locks the door when i turn on the ignition everytime, but sometimes it doesn't... so when i turn the car off the car tries to unlock the door when its already unlocked, so i'm guessing this may be the problem that caused the cable or watever thats controlling the lock to screw up?

has anyone had this kind of problem before? its not a big problem but gets on my nerves.. i'm just scared one day if i need to make a quick getaway and the car won't unlock... i'd be fxxked :eek:

the motor might have had it.... take off your door trim and see if the motor works?

my doors play up a little too, just take off the trim and have a look at the rods as it locks and unlocks and see if it is moving properly. they might just need some adjusting, it always seems to fix my doors when they dont lock/unlock properly.

this happened to me about 2 weeks ago, same problem no idea of what had happened so i took it down to the shop where i put my alarm in. they replaced the motor cos they said it was broken. $40 only :thumbsup:

ok.. i haven't had time to try the methods u guys give... but my door magically unlocks with the remote again... may be cold weather? :S

but im wondering where can u buy the motor??

that happened to me too, but after like a week or so, then it screwed up.

had to press alarm then use the key and pull handle at the same time

open door trim and find the actulator arms and the connector, square metal block with 3 screws, and re adjust it.
simple takes about 5 mins each door
happened to mee too

when i had that problem it was because my battery was dead
