mumble_bee Posted April 1, 2013 Report Posted April 1, 2013 you could check for oxidised connections - scrape and re-insert Quote
SilverBeast Posted April 1, 2013 Report Posted April 1, 2013 I believe there is a badly made up junction in the harness that can get soaked when the rear washer pipe splits in the passenger footwell.I think it's under the same panel as the pipe runs in or in the passenger left kick panel (plastic trim on left under glovebox). There have been plenty of electrical gremlins caused by this. Someone will be along who can give more details. It has been in other threads, along with a better description of the location and pictures! Have you tried the central locking switch on the drivers door panel (when sat in the car) or do you just mean by using the key in the drivers door lock? Have you tried locking/unlocking from the passenger door with the key? Alternatively it could be:-(i) Wires breaking in the gaitors - Seems to be most common - and drivers gets opened and closed most(ii) The switch/wiring on the drivers door that operates it manually could be faulty.

ace46rider Posted April 1, 2013 Author Report Posted April 1, 2013 hithanks for your reploys , when setting in drivers seat you can lock all doors with the switch on the right near e/windows switch, but will not lock with the key from driversout side door lock. but locks from tail gate all 4 doors but hit and miss if drivers door locks aswell ,wires in drivers door looks ok, the loom in the pass side footwell lookswet from the flood still Quote
SilverBeast Posted April 1, 2013 Report Posted April 1, 2013 Here's a link to the thread that mentions the junction in the passenger footwell. It does sound to me more like a problem with the wiring in the gaitor on the drivers side though, particularly if the drivers lock itself is intermittent. The insulation can crack and the wires inside corrode and fail. You really need to meter either end of the wire and check it is low resistance to check properly. Saying that I have been fortunate enough not to have this problem myself - it's only a matter of time though! Quote
