Central Locking - A Different Problem

[Atticus]

Hi all

We've got an '02 Bongo with (what I think is) factory-fitted remote central locking, which has started playing up.

The remote fob no longer locks or unlock the drivers door, although it does lock/unlock all the other doors.

The drivers door can still be locked using the key in the drivers door locked.

When either fob or key is used, there's a 'fast-ratcheting' noise coming from the area of the drivers door lock gubbins, like a GRRRRRRRRRR noise. Only the drivers door lock makes this noise, all the other just clunk as normal.

I've checked the driver's door loom but it *looks* okay, and this doesn't seem to be the usual 'farayed wire' issue, as all the other doors still lock centrally.

Anyone got any ideas before I start stripping the door card off and snapping or losing plastic clips?

Thanks

Martin

Sounds like someone has added a drivers door motor to enable remote fob working, but the motor has failed on the drivers door.

Thanks for the insight. Looks like I'm going to have to delve in there and see what's going on....

Sorry to bring this topic back from the dead but I have this exact issue with our bongo right now. Did you ever get this sorted? What was the problem?
