rover 75 cdt won't lock...

traskutis · 10th April 2008, 10:45

Hi, i was replacing front speakers and when i took the driver side door card out, i heard a beep and a small round plastic circle fell out. The circle looks like a coat button with a hole in the center.

Now the car won't lock, when i am trying to lock it ,it gives me one beep which probably indicates that the door isn't shut properly.

The car won't lock manually as well...when inserting a key in the door lock, it twists to both sides but nothing happens.

When pressing lock on the remote i can see that it tries to lock it, but something is indicating that the doors isn't shut.

On board computer recognizes when the door is shut...

The only way of locking it , is pressing the lock button from inside of the car and getting out from passengers side. Mileage display remans lit all times.

Thanks for any help!!!!!

Gintaras.

Not too sure what has happened to your door lock but from what you've said it would appear some aspect of the lock has broken off (or become dislodged) thus preventing the lock from being operated via the motors in the door, hence the beep sound when the car detects it cannot lock the door via the locking system. Hopefully someone will point you in the right direction soon enough as to what could have gone awry.

Hi Simon,

i tried a new lock mechanism, and checked all the cables they work fine.... i can lock the car manually... but it locks only the drivers doors and still beeps.

Where can i get the car checked ? as i run out of ideas....

Are you sure nothing else is open slightly?
Boot, Bonnet, Other doors or Sunroof.

Try posting up a picture of the bit that dropped out, and if you add in your location, someone local to you may be able to assist you.
