Hi everyone
Long time member but not posted for a long while - i have used the search function but I am stumped on this one hoping someone can help!
So my 59 plate SWB transit
Drivers door lock actuator jammed, and cooked itself (took the fuse with it). Replaced the fuse and metered the lock relay output diagnosing actuator faulty.
Great!
So I have replaced the door lock actuator with a "new" one (pattern part) and now the central locking works inc drivers door lock however it is not double locking and I get the horn sound when locking (and indicators do not flash to confirm locked).
I know this is commonly a rear door loom issue or side door contact but given the issue was instigated by the drivers door lock (and the rear door loom is ok) I wonder if some step I missed when changing an actuator?
in detail
1) If I lock with remote, all the doors lock (and stay locked) but I get the horn sound and no indicators flash (and I do not hear what I would describe as the normal additional locking sound)
2) If I sit inside the vehicle and press the door handle lock - all the doors lock and I get the horn sound
3) If I sit inside the vehicle and unlock using the door handle lock ONLY the drivers door unlocks (not sure if this is normal)
If I press unlock the vehicle unlocks fine and the indicators flash.
One point which is "key" no pun intended!! - I notice if I lock the van with the key now in the door, the other doors do not lock - pretty sure they did before.
Any ideas? Is there anything I need to do with the actuator specifically to lean it in etc. It doesnt look like the most complicated of things so I guess not.
