Central Locking

[Just457]

Hi all.  

Just started having an issue with my drivers door not unlocking when I press the key fob.  All other doors unlock without issue.  I thought the actuator had given up.  However when I have driven for around 20 mins and leave the car and check it again it unlocks no problem.   After around 15 mins it stops working again until I do a drive of around 20 mins and then it works again without issue.  

 

Thights???

Loose connection? when you've driven for 20 mins and unlock it (when it works) does it make a different sound at all or sounds normal?

Can you unlock it using the actual key?

Hi Justin...welcome to the Forum

As Brad-B5 has stated, loose connection....that is also what I would go for to start with.

Check where the wiring goes from the pillar to the door through the flexible trunking and see if there is any broken or chaffed wires where it articulates every time the door opens/closes.

Let us know what you find

I will have a look.  It works using the key in the door no problem.
