NSR Door Doesn't open


Recommended Posts

Evening all, For the last couple of weeks the wee beastie has been displaying a new symptom in that occasionally I cannot open the NSR rear door. Neither exterior or interior handle works but after locking/unlocking the car a few times I can open the door (trial and error). This evening however only one rear door was usable :angry:

 

Sounds like it may be a known problem. I've read about bowden cables and faulty deadlocks but can anybody offer some clues as where I should look first?

@garibaldy - Is there evidence that the solenoid on that door is trying to fire?

Something is making a sound from the door for sure, but it didn't sound healthy initially. Rather than two distinct and solid noises from the other doors, the NSR was initially more like a grinding noise. I managed to get the door open but then locked it again as it's on a public road.

 

I've just been back out to the car and now the noise from inside the NSR door sounds the same as the others. However it will not open.

After further investigation (ear against door skin this time) I'd say the solenoid isn't firing. There isn't anywhere near as much mechanical sound compared to the passenger rear door.

 

Also just sat inside the car using the keyfob to lock/unlock repeatedly and the lack of noise from the lock area of the NSR door is obvious.

@garibaldy - Well, if the solenoid is trying to fire, I'd think it's either weak, or getting a low current. Either way, your investigation path starts in that door, and isn't in the driver's door for once.

 

The lazy tong riveter will be having another outing me thinks.

On thinking of my reply... Its only actually practical if you get the door open! I think that you could intentionally disconnect the central looking to that door on discovering which wire it takes. 

 

Try opening the front, feeling around the rear bellow and squeezing/manipulating it a little, as you try unlocking again. Mine is a MK2 but the bellow is accessible from the front door and the locks open/lock with the front door open. This MIGHT get the door open for you to investigate further!

 

P.S. Not Garibaldi 'cos your name is Gary and you are folliculy   challenged, are you?  (Another Gary, with a "High" forehead)!

If i can get the door open I will be checking it out :-)

 

Garibaldi was a nickname whilst growing up! Surname is Baldwin and some clever git at a school must have had posh parents who liked fancy biscuits so that's one of the names that stuck. Garibaldy is more fitting these days :D

I had to do this recently, it was a ******, if you manage to get the door open you can remove the lock and disable the deadlock so you can refit the lock to shut the door but you won't be able to lock it.

 

The lock module is faulty, you must replace it, don't bother faffing about, just fit a new one.

 

If you can't get the door open then you'll have to remove the door card, the card will come off as long as you remove the rear seat squab, I had to attack the lock mechanism with a hammer and cold chisel to expose the gear so I could turn it to disengage the deadlock.

 

Not funny. You should have replaced it weeks ago when it started playing up but you could still open the door!

Can anybody confirm the correct part number(s) for NSR lock on a 6Y? I think it might be 6Y0839015.

 

Is the MK2 version compatible - looks like the only difference is a red v white plastic for the lock pin (which I dont have).
