The problem is not the actuators, the fault lies in the central locking control unit under the dashboard, behind the glovebox, on the firewall. The CLCU is mounted with the connection terminals to the top resulting in condensation going onto the printed circuit board inside, if the damage started a while ago there is only 3 ways to go.
1. specialist firm to repair the CLCU.
2. Replace.
3. (As I did) buy a cheap remote control receiver with keyfob/s. Cut all wires off the multiplug, there are four pairs, a permanent live and permanent earth. Test each wire to earth on the van to identify the permanent earth FIRST. Then test pairs of wires across 12v/Earth noting which pairs actuate which lock.Isolate in pairs noting which wire has to be live to lock, (Reversed it will unlock) wire each pair into the relay on the remote receiver using the relay to changeover the polarity to each pair You will then be able to Lock/Unlock all the doors, throw the old CLCU away and mount the RCReceiver eslewhere to keep it dry. each door individually. I bought a 2 way RCReceiver and can lock/Unlock front doors seperate the the rear ones which is of far more use! Any decent electrician will tell you how to wire the relays. Job Done..... (100% Sure)
Rear door stuck locked
key fob intermittantly does not lock or unlock doors. Sometimes the driver door will lock and then the button pops back up.
Help! It began with one inoperable lock when the car was new. Then probs w/ both rear doors. Now can't open front doors. What to do?
