I thought i would ask here first before going to an auto elec.

The other day i took my car to one of those do it yourself car washes just to get the bird crap off as i didn't have time to do a full wash at home.

When i got back home and went to use the button on my keys to turn on the imobliser and lock the doors the imobiliser went on, but the doors did not lock.

And now whenever i push the button I can hear the motors make a noise in the door but they do not lock.

The sound it now makes is different to what it used to be when it worked.

So anyone have any idea what may be wrong?

you have a loose rod in the drivers door. if you can hear the actuator going in the drivers side then everything else is fine. tear the panel off and screw the rod back in place.

I picked my car up and my central locking worked, i got it home then it stopped working all together, would this still be a loose rod or would it be something else???

Sorry to hijack

If you can hear the actuators moving it's just 1 or 2 screws that need tightening so just rip off your panel and get a phillips head screwdriver( not too big ) and give them a turn and it should be ok champ :)

Sorry bout the late reply, its a late 94 r33, i doesnt make a sound, ive had the battery changed professionally in the remote in case it was a flat battery but to no avail. Need to get an alarm put in it very soon so ill get it all fixed then i think.

You might get away with just changing the actuators pull the door panel off then check the actuators, just lock yourself in the car, to see if they will lock. If they dont move check the wiring(try to check with a tester) it could just be the wiring,if not you might get away with buying at set of actuators. They usally come in sets of 4 but that way you will have 2 spare.

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
