well its been a while since ive done a post, but ive now going to attack my drivers door lock. the only thing that does not work ? .... is when when using key fob. otherwise it works fine. with the key. plus when using key fob all three doors unlock fine with key fob. so ive ordered from auto reserve a secound hand drivers door lock £75, they say if it does not work i have a 30 day return on the lock. plus ive ordered new door card studs. the only hardest job was getting off and out the security shied from inside the door. well with the lock out i spent time checking it out. all mechanical levers work when i test them manually , so it must be the solenoid inside not working ? but to check this out i would have to damage the lock to check it out, but i dont want to do that as this still works as a lock manually.

update on my drivers door lock.. i had my lock delivered from auto reserve, i had to make sure that this did work !! so connect up the two electric connectors to the lock, then connect up me battery terminals. with the door left open i then got my key fob and test lock mechanism making sure it locks and unlocks. test checked and working ok , its then disconnect the connectors, and fit door handle rod and locking rod to the lock mechanism. door handle rod had to have an adjustment so it would open and close. test and checking all the time so it locates.. this does take some time so be patient, but when set up correct it works perfect. so all ive got left to do is install the security shield then the window regulator replace cover, replace door card but connect up the cable to the handle and jobs done.

well i just had to spilt it apart to see how it works ? now its a case of what has gone wrong ? why does it not work when pressing button on key fob ? i hope a friend of mine can find out through testing the electric components on this lock, lets hope we get a result back !!
