Door Locks Not Working On S2

[BigDirtyJase]

Hey all...it's been a long time

Well I parked my car at the train station today as I do every day and armed the alarm and went to work...I got back in the afternoon and disarmed the alarm and it chirped 3 times...hmm...I noticed the indicator flash 3 times...which means the doors were touched...saw the an BF XR6 Turbo parked nexted to me with it's window smashed...so I looks like some lowlifes were around Train station carparks

well anyway I went to my mates place tonight and went to arm the car and the alarm armed then chirped to say a sensor is disarmed (which is the doors)...Now I know my central locking was slightly playing up (lock will not lock properly whent the alarm arms but it will do it sometimes). I say no worries I'll lock with a key like i do sometimes...this time it lock then quickly unlocked all doors

Now when I turn the key in the door lock barrel it will not lock at all...

A mate thinks that it fell of the rail or something....any ideas???

Although I have an alarm in there...I just feel unsafe leaving my car anywhere know the drivers door doesn't lock

if you get in the car, shut all the doors, and lock the drivers door by flicking the manual lock by hand, does it work properly? ie, all doors lock and stay locked?

[BigDirtyJase]

no it doesn't...when I try to push the lock in...it's really hard to push and if you push to the lock position, I can hear all the doors lock but when i let go of the lock if will spring back and all doors unlocked

by the sounds of it your mate is on the right track, something has gone wrong with the mechanical side of things, not the electrical. with the lock being hard to push it could be a linkage arm fallen off or jammed up. take the door card off and have a look.

does it look like someone has had a go at breaking into you car? maybe with one of those thin bits of steel that you can use to slide down between the window and the door, could have dislodged something with on of those?

Well I just had a look at the lock today...happens to be the rod that connects from central locking switch for my alarm to the door lock mechanisim had fallen down and jammed the lock.....

It also looked like it was hit with thin piece of steel because it moved around causing it to drop down
