Drivers Door Lock Acting Funny

[jamesey]

hi ive come to press to unlock my alhambra 1997 mk1 on the key fob and all 3 doors opened except the drivers door but when i pull and pull at the door handle it works its way open , also when i used to lock it remotly it used to flash the led on the door , but now it doesnt and just the 3 doors lock not the drivers door.

even when i lock it with the key i can pull the handle vigourusly and it eventually opens , it cant be the wires on the door cause there new ive just had new door wiring , i think its somthing with the lock and alarm mech , is there a sensor somwhere

and yes the alarm still works when its locked and i pull the drivers door open , im stumped :ph34r:

just to add now to confusion ive gone to fill up and the diesel flap is locked , ive had to lock and unlock the alhambra several times to get it to open

mmm me thinks it could be a wire problem,just because youve had it changed i wouldnt rule it out??????

[jamesey]

somtimes it works in reverse , ill lock it and the drivers door unlocks , and if i unlock it the drivers door locks , but most of the time it does nothing , the led on the alarm doesnt light up like it did last night

no ive checked all that , ive sat inside the car and the drivers lock mech makes a noise when remotly locking but doesnt actually lock , there must be a alarm sensor on this door as when the lock locks itself it triggers the alarm to activate , a new lock me thinks

i found a little red n white wire broken in the door rubber joined it up and it fine now , thanks
