Hey. Noticed today that the drivers side rear door doesn't central lock. 

It is fine using the in-door locking (next to, but not, the child lock)

Is there a quick fix I can try before I try to get the dealer (1hr45mins) away to honor their "30 day warranty"? 

 

I'm happy to take door cards off etc to have a look at things. 

 

 

Not much you can do even with it stripped out, so much goes on in the door latches now they will just fall apart if opened up.

 

chances are the latch has failed and should be fairly straight forward to diagnose and change under warranty.

I had a similar problem a few weeks back but on the rear left passenger side. After doing things like, opening the door from the inside, locking and unlocking the doors using the lock/unlock button on the centre console and using the KESSY key to lock and unlock the doors, it eventually cured itself. I have no idea what caused the problem nor what actually did the trick.

Nice one, I'll get on the phone to them. I'm hoping that it will be able to be sorted from up my end than have to take it back down. Perils of buying from further afield I guess.

I'll have a play with the rest of the stuff for locking then. See if that works for it until we can get it sorted. 

 

 

I'm honestly not surprised they wear out with all the locking and unlocking that goes on around 10mph.

Cant get out of the estate without it having actuated 15+times

Are you saying that your unlocks automatically at low speed? Never seen that, once locked mine stays locked even when come to a stop, until opening a door or pressing the door lock button.

Yeah it seems to, as soon as I'm below 10mph or so. 

My other half has commented on how annoying it is having them click away. 

Seems like there is a general fault. 

 

I'm guessing normal is locked until door opening after actuating above 10mph.

Mmm, yes it does sound like there is a fault. The only time I’ve had multiple actuations was when transporting something a bit long and couldn’t close the tailgate. The car would keep trying to lock it.

OK. I'll have to get a video sorted of both of my issues to send to the dealer. 

The constant actuation must be linked to that drivers rear lock not actually locking and it keeps trying to do it. 

 

Thank you 👍

You definetely have a fault then.... do you by any chance have the electronic child lock buttons on the drivers door to control each door independently?

No, just the window lock. 

Follow up on this. 

It was a faulty lock module so that got replaced. Under buyer's warranty.
