Central locking problem

02CDT · 4th May 2012, 21:07

Hello,
Hope someone may have some ideas with this one, I have recently bought a 75 and it has a central locking problem. The remote will unlock the nearside rear door but none of the other doors though you can hear something working in the other doors. The central locking control inside will also only open the nearside rear door and none of tbhe others. When I open all of the doors and then lock the car with the remote all the doors will lock but if I try it with the central locking button again only the nearside rear door will lock. Any ideas?
Thanks
Martin

Sounds like the lock actuators have failed on three of your doors, only option is to change the locks, best do one at a time due to the expense.

Thanks for the suggestion Dave I will have a look for one and give it a try.

Dave is right, I need one for my drivers door. However I did have the same problem with my nearside rear door when I bought mine. I used silicone spray squirted into the mechanism and lock and it began to work. Can't guarantee it will work , but may be worth a shot.

The one thing that puzzles me is that the key fob will close all the doors but not the central locking button inside?

I have the same problem with drivers door and nearside rear door, but all will lock and unlock on the key.
