Auto Door Lock

[Resin]

anybody know where the auto door lock (at 20kms p/hour) is? Is it another box under that dash near the 105km chime?

I want to take mine out as it is playing up and trying to lock the doors when ur over 20km all the time ......sometimes when ur driving along it just keeps trying top lock em ...when they are already locked !.........anyway it must die !

thanks

Does it do that all the time? Mine sometimes tried to do it, Id just unlock it and it would lock its self again and come good.

Other than that, no idea where it is.

yea mine does it sometimes but is getting worse and worse ....and once its starts it doesnt stop. tried doing what u do but it doesnt help .........i will have a look tommorrow

Fa Real!,

Same sh!t happens in mine, passengers cant get out, its always locking.

I have to turn the car off then back on just to unlock the doors!!!!!!!

Find out so I too can kill the door locking gremlins.

Maybe get a central locking kit ?

It wont stop them locking but might stop them trying to keep locking. Just a suggestion.

i have central locking ..................and hooked up to an immobilser ......its called old nissan electronics .......i have experienced it heaps with the nissan i have had ...my windows are also f**king up ....

I wired up my doors to central lock, so when it locks the driver's door when you start moving, it locks all the doors. Most of my passengers find it annoying... I call it the "kidnapper option".

yea mine is wired to the passnger doors aswell ..........

what is annnoying about mine is the fact that when im travelling above 20kms per hour the door locking mechanism constanly locks it self every 3 seconds

oh... that's wierd... its only supposed to fire once. Even if the lock is jammed it should only try once.

yea thats wats it used to do but over the last few months it has started going retarted.....it doesnt always do it ...

i think there is a faulty connection somewhere where it thinks the doors arent locked when they are.. or something like that

ok well lots of fiddling and trial and error and still have the problem but i think i know what is causing it.

Firstly the other two boxes under the steering wheel (to the right of the chime box seem to do nothing ....well i couldnt figure out what they did)

I realised it might be a earthing wire ....maybe worn and shorting? against the car or soemhting like that (i have had it before witht the stereo)

So i moved on to the drivers door. Through trial and error of unplugging connections and driving. I have found it to be somehting to do with the main power window box in particular the connections that drives the rear windows up and down ( i have also had issue with these ......they wind down fine with the drivers door but wont go up - i have to wind em up using the button on the door and if that doesnt work i have to press the buttons on both the drivers door and the passanger door!)

When i removed that coonection the constant locking stopped.

Also today the motor for the drivers door burnt out (probably to do with the problem i am having)

Any way thats how far i got ...and will keep looking during the week

My car does this too. I call it the Schitzo-fighting-feature. Basically something says you're "going over 10kmh .. quick lock the door." Sometime after something else says "the driver door just got unlocked, the rest of the car should be too" so it unlocks the car,.. at which point it says to itself "I'm going over 10kmh, quick .. lock the doors".. and it goes over and over.

You have 2 options -

1- buy a new central locking/power window controller console box thing

2- lock the drivers door

I went with options 2. Since you've got trouble with your windows go option 1... also get some silicone grease and give your window rubbers a quick spray (then wipe excess off the window). It'll feel like new

you guys should use a better electrician to install your alarms/central locking actuators.

Have you guys got actuators in your driver doors? I had to install one in mine.

After taking the Ceff for a quick spin around the block, i noticed that the doors auto lock at 20kmh, figured that it wouldn't be to safe to have this happening on the track.

So once again the dash came out and the drivers door card came off. I quickly worked out that the power window control thing in the door also controls the central locking.

both plugs are needed for both the power windows and central locking to work. After a quick inspection of the black plug, which had some wires running off to one of the door locks,

i noticed that there was one wire coloured in the same manner as a wire coming out of the back of the speedo behind the dash cluster. A quick multimeter test revealed that the yellow wire with a green stripe runs out of the back of the dash, to the ecm for speed cut as well as to the central door lock controller for the 20kmh auto lock feature. My sat between the purple, and blue with white wire on my loom. Yours may be different.

now there are 2 option to potential fix this issue, one is to cut the offending wire, the other is to de-pin it from the plug.

first the 2 push lock needed to be bent out and the locking flap comes straight up. then you need to inset a thin flathead screwdriver into the large opening on the face of the plug and pry out the plastic clip that hold the pin inside the plug, i got frustrated and just snapped the f**ker out.

Don't know if this will stop the door from locking automatically at 20 kmh as i can not get the car out of the driveway.

after the weekend i will know if this is it, and update this post.

[mikie]

yup. wire removed or cut will stop doors auto locking.
