Central Locking Actuator Not Working Properly.

[rayj]

Hi

I have a Cefiro. Lately the central locking has sort of stopped working.

Manually, the central locking works if I use the key. All 4 doors will lock and unlock.

But, if I use the remote, the central locking won't work. It sounds like it wants to and will slightly move, but not enough to actually lock or unlock. Sort of moves half way...

I've changed batteries in the remote, but I still have the same problem.

What could be causing this?

Thanks for any help

I've just taken the driver's door panel off, and I can see the black central locking actuator.

I've taken the actuator off the rod and it seems to work fine remotely, in and out.

So it looks like it just hasn't got the strength to push the rods in and out for locking and unlocking...

Can the actuator be fixed, or is it time to buy a new one?

buy a new onw. cefiro has the old 80s locking system in it.
