mk 7 2.4 crew cab drivers door wont open

Postby gear_1052000 » Fri Feb 15, 2019 11:00 pm

First post so sorry if been covered before,

bought my first ford last week a 2011 transit tipper 2.4 crew cab,

only got one key (non remote) and been working fine, since i have had the van its always displayed a door ajar symbol on the dash even with all doors closed.

today locked the van and the drivers door locked but the other 3 didnt, now the door wont unlock from the key or inside and i cant lock the other 3 doors,

my thinking is a local company does remote keys for £140 shall i pay for one and see whether the remote will unlock the door? the key i have know opens the bonnet and starts the van fine.

also tried wd40 in the the lock, i am in kent if anyone knows anyone local that could repair the whole problem or give me some advice that would be great,

Thanks guys

Update

Got the deadlock off by earthing the wire in the mirror. Was working fine with the new key ( remote doesn’t work) but this morning it’s done it again.

Could this be the battery?

A flat battery can stop the remote working, but it won't affect using the key in the lock. It may be why the key is only locking the drivers door though.
Have you checked the state of the front battery under the seat?
:idea: Try starting the engine, and see if all of the doors lock/unlock, using the lock button on the inside of the drivers door.

The door lock won’t work with the engine running.
Shall the next stop be getting the battery’s checked? This is driving me mad as I can’t lock the other 3 doors and our traveller friends love these heavy duty tippers.

Could it be something to do with the open door symbol always being on the dash so it thinks there is a door open?
