Central Locking for 'All Doors" is on the wrong door

Postby stosostu » Thu Dec 05, 2024 8:40 am

I have a MY2000 VH Ford Transit 2.4 Diesel, 5 speed Manual.

I live in Australia, so we drive on the left and the drivers door is the front right.

My central locking, via the key only, works fine, EXCEPT, it is the left hand front door (passenger side) lock that locks/unlocks all the doors. The drivers door only locks/unlocks the drivers door.

Is there a way to change this so that the drivers door is the one that locks/unlocks all of the doors?

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

If you can get a diagram for the mk6 that you have it may help you. I only have the mk7 but apart from the mk7 have a body control module,the doors are virtually wired the same. The mk7 though doesn't usually have a key lock on the passenger(left)door but here's a diagram of the front door locks. You can use it to bridge the 1 pin that you need to enable the all locks. The right driver latch may be faulty so if you can meter it on the (lock) wire to see if it grounds or whatever then that might help.
The diagram shows the pins that you need. I believe the mk6 is coloured wires but the mk7 are all black. The mk7 diagram colours might not be the same as the mk6 but the pins are correct so just be aware that you are following the pins and you'll be ok.
So basically on the latch pin 3 goes to ground when you turn the key. Find pin 3 and put a continuity tester on it and to the body of the van,it should beep when you lock with the key and the door closed. If that happens then the fault is elsewhere, you can either trace it somehow,possibly the rubber boot that goes from the door to the body,inside there the connector can go green and corrode too and cause issues.

But the other option is to feed 1 wire from passenger pin 3 to driver pin 3 and that should allow it to fully lock.

But that's the bodge way really. If you can find the fault then great.
If the pin 3 grounds when you lock the door then that's great it saves you sourcing another latch.

both doors should work.

Sounds like you have an issue with the drivers door lock mechanism to me....

Thanks for the replies, I'll see if I can find a wiring diagram for the Mk6 locking system.

So, should both front doors lock/unlock all doors?
