Hi all.

Have a problem with my central locking and not sure what part I need or what to do.

When I open my car with the central locking remote all the doors open except for the drivers door, the button remains stuck and doesn't lift up.I have to use the car key to enter that door.

Not a huge issue but it seems to be causing a problem with the battery as well I think, as a few times now the car hasn't started.

Battery is only 3 months old and car was checked for electrical problems by an auto electric shop, electrician said alternator, battery, wiring everything was fine.

He said he couldn't check if it was the alarm/immobiliser causing the battery to go dead as he doesn't have a diagnostic machine, would have to go a main dealer to check for that and ecu etc.

Wasn't that impressed with him at all and charged me 50 euro for an hours labour.

Will go straight to main dealer next time.

Anyway i'm sure its something to do with that button on the drivers door making the battery go dead, car isn't driven everyday, as I live near work and cycle most days.

What part to do I need?

Do I need a new motor, door lock?

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

Did you fix this problem?

My drivers door won't work with the central locking, but does with the key.

i had issues with my central locking last year,took it to awesome gti who did a diagnostics check which showed my central locking motor needed replacing.all in it cost me for new motor and fitting £230....
