Central Locking Problem

[SCOTTG200]

Central locking stopped working last night. Works fine if i use passenger side lock, but only opens drivers door if i use drivers side lock. Any idea's???

if you open it up from the passanger side, then lock it from the drivers side, does it lock the passanger door? the mechanism might have come loose

 

[SCOTTG200]

Not sure i will check it out.

my central locking went, was the passanger side motor!

i could lock both doors from the passanger side, but from the drivers door, i could only lock its self, not the passanger door aswell!

Have tried this and it does not lock passanger door.

yeh because which ever door you lock from you are effectivly doing it manually, therefore not using the central locking....

correct, which is what i was saying, so if you can lock passanger door and it locks drivers, then the drivers motor is ok!!!

if lock the drivers doors and id doesnt lock passanger aswell then the passanger motor maybe blown!!

which is what happened to me
naps

Scott, my post above!!??

the mechanisium inside the door if operate manually from outside or inside doesnt use the central locking on that side if that makes sense, because you are manually moving the locking beam inside the door, which then triggers the passanger side to automatically lock? and vice versa?

So do you reckon that the passsanger motor is broken.

yes get your door card off and have a look

 

[Napster]

you have said that locking passanger locks both doors?
and
from drivers side it only locks itself!

this is what happened in my car, and after changing the passanger side motor, it is working perfectly (thanks to Nex for his help)

Will it look different if it it broken.

 

[Napster]

yes get your door card off and have a look

what did you want him to do after this?
only because its hard to tell if its blown as you cant rally see naything without taking the motor unit out?

he can check wires tho?

 

[SCOTTG200]

Damn my slow typing.

Cheers guys(Y) (Y)

if you've got a multi-meter around, check the connections for power (12V i guess), if its there then the motor has blown, but as nap is saying its 99% that....

 

[Napster]

no harm in taking door card off, under a 5minute job, just to see if the connector block leading into the motor is loose? or testing it!!!

just i think you should be keeping an eye out for "passanger side motor" from a micra or primera!

underneath the steering column is a black box, this is the central locking main control unit! see if any of those wires are loose!!

also sit inside the car, somewhere, where its quiet. close all the doors. from inside lock the drivers door!! you should hear a "tick" from the unit under the steering column! and try the same with the passanger, they should both "tick"!!!

hope this helps

ok this is going too sound silly but i have a little problem thats annoying me

in the super S K11's you have a little button on the driverside doorcard/armrest bit

it'snot a push in out one it's a push forward or back and it locks the doors for you whilst your in the car

when i push mine it only locks the passenger one and my driver side makes a weird clicky noise

yet my central locking it fine :S

Anyone Able Too Shed Any Light Onto This?

and what is my d/s servo?

i thought something might of just been loose :S

 

[frank]

driver side motor, that button is to lock yourself in iirc

 

[Ner-Ection]

i'll try and lock the door from the passenger side

if the driver side doesn't lock i'll know it's the motor

thanks

i would take the servo off and plug it into the n/s loom plug, and check whether it was throwing in and out, before buying another one
