its most likely something inside your door lock
try these:
- Lock one of the doors by hand then use the remote to lock it (first try locking passenger door by hand) : if it still makes it that means it could be your driver door
- After that try locking the driver door by hand then pressing the remotes lock button if it DOESNT MAKE it its definately your driver door, if it does that means its either both doors or something else.
- Make your alarm go off (open the boot, lock the car then close the boot)
- When your alarm goes off, if its giving a scrreching noise then its just the siren of the alarm its broken or something.. easy fix.
- Could be your door locks, try locking and unlocking with a key
Could be anything but yeh give them a try atleast it'll help u isolate the problem
i went through steps to determine what it was already but thanx anyways.. ive determined that it is something wrong with my driver side lock.. when i lock it by hand or use the key or use the remote it makes that annoying sound.. the door locks properly and everything but its just ****ing annoying sound goes for about 2 seconds
maybe its the central locking on the drivers side, open your door trim and see whats the problem .
It prob needs some lubricant on the contact metal rubbing points like the lock rods etc
yeh definately just open up the trim im sure ull find what it is, cant be that hard, worst case.. after you've opened it take a few high quality pics put it up on here maybe some1 on the forum can help u champ
most probably central locking. I'd open it up and take a look around and try to spot the problem
