bobalob01 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Posted June 18, 2015 Please help me. Ive had a problem for a few weeks with central locking. Where 1 door locks and the others dont and i do it again and a different door locks and the others dont. ive changed the tailgate loom as upon inspection found that this was beyond help and i thought this would solve the problem but it didnt. So i then checked all of the door looms and everything is fine with them, no breaks or frays or bare wires to cause a short. But it seems i still have the same issue. is there anything else i could check or maybe is there a reset sequence to get everything syncronised again?? Quote
viperclive Posted June 18, 2015 Report Posted June 18, 2015 Is it localized to a particular door when locking or on fob? Quote
gregers Posted June 18, 2015 Report Posted June 18, 2015 welcome to the forum. you say you have checked the gators in the doors. what about the rear hatch.if not then do,because the wires in there can cause no end of grief. Quote
SilverBeast Posted June 18, 2015 Report Posted June 18, 2015 @gregers ive changed the tailgate loom as upon inspection found that this was beyond help I have a vague recollection that disconnecting the battery for a few minutes might make it reset. Make sure you have your radio code though. I suspect you may have had it disconnected to change the tailgate loom though. Quote
BrianH Posted June 18, 2015 Report Posted June 18, 2015 Short term i found pulling fuse 19 stopped the central door locking from working and reverted it to the key only operation, As others have said it sounds like either you have a stuck motor (only the front ones as far as i know do this) where it either isn't moving by the lock motor (if this is the case you will be able to lock all doors from one side but not the other) or it is moving, but the car isn't receiving the correct signal back to say so. Theres two plugs on the motor - the main one operates the lock itself, the other smaller one at the top does the window opening and possibly the alarm. If you wind the front windows down and then try to lock them what happens? (or do they open themselves??) I think you may have to open the front door cards and look for yourself. Where did you source another loom from? If you haven't looked inside the gaiter on it I'd suggest doing so now as your fault may be there if its a used loom. Only other thing i can think you may be able to do to narrow it down is to disconnect the door looms one at a time and see if one door seems to cause the problem (you can disconnect them at the pillar, but be prepared that the plug may fall off into the car behind the pillar when you do) Quote
bobalob01 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Posted June 19, 2015 Hi guys thanks for the replies. no its not just 1 door that plays up,it seems they take it in turn to not lock with every press of the key fob and once it does lock the previous non locking door will then lock and another door is unlocked. On the very odd ocassion they will all lock but most times i have to manually lock all doors. I managed to get a brand new ford loom to replace the broken 1 in the tailgate. In total there where 9 broken wires. i didnt need to disconnect the battery to change the loom as i could simply u clip from main loom before the breaks to avoid any shorts when removing broken wires. so i will try to disconnect the battery and see how i get on. Luckily i have the radio code yay! Thanks for your help guys will let you know the outcome. :) Quote
Flipperfeet Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 Looking forward to seeing how you get on as I have a similar problem I have been looking at today. In my case one particular door (driver side passenger) will not lock centrally. Also alarm doesn't go off if car is centrally locked and that door is then opened. The main console does register when the door is opened though, so something in the wiring is working! Did yours do the same? Quote

Did yours do the same? the door open is done off the switch at the bottom of the car (on the car chassis, not the door itself). Your issues will most likely be that wires in the passenger door in question are broken, or the actual lock motor has given up in that door. The back doors will tend to get opened wider than the front so the wires can get strained easier. Quote
seatkid Posted June 23, 2015 Report Posted June 23, 2015 There are 2 looms going into the tailgate one either side.... Quote
BrianH Posted June 23, 2015 Report Posted June 23, 2015 Isn't there just the washer pipe in the passenger side one? Quote
viperclive Posted June 27, 2015 Report Posted June 27, 2015 Yep washer pipe n/s, wires o/s, just fitted new rear hatch! Quote
