Hi All,

Had the same problem the other day, side door locks not locking/unlocking with fob, windows not opening, no courtesy light. tailgate locked ok.

Corroded pins on connector as in previous posts, one pin had disappeared, wire pulled out of plug.

Cut an oblong hole in the side of the black box to expose the board connections and soldered a link wire to the red/white lead, the rest of the connections were cleaned with emery.

All works fine now. I have been having a lot of trouble with intermittant door locking especially the drivers door for years and probably replaced lock units uneccesarily.

Wrapped the lot up in gaffer tape see how it goes, at least I can link more connectors as they die.

Digimaan.

Have recently fixed this on mine.  No pin to hand so I ended up cutting a hole (removed the pcb part first, which was frankly bloody awkward) to be able to access the pcb inside and soldering a wire (comparable gauge to the original) on to the remaining upright of the pin.  I ran this out and down to the correct wire the other side of the connector (had to strip the wiring back a little).    Tidied it all up and sealed everything back up (mostly using strips of Gorilla tape I admit).  I also installed some drip feeds (cable ties) to guide the water away from the connector and the repair.   Hopefully this will prevent a repeat occurrence.      Thanks for the photos and updates in this thread.  Very useful.  

 

Found whilst in there that the garage I asked about it some time back (charged me 50 quid to investigate) had broken 3 of the door card mountings and used some horrendous goop to try and reseal the inner membrane (Gorilla tape will fix it well enough).   Want something doing?   (you know the rest)
