hey guys, i just finished fixing my front door lock but i was too cold to tackle the rear one.
What do you think is causing this problem and how should i go about fixing it?
Is it a common problem, caused by the motor or wiring?
Thanks in advance
Alan

1. cross bar/general lubrication
2. bar needs, lengthening or shortening (if the lock mucks about)
3. wiring fault
4. motor shot (unlikely) (have a spare for 300 quid)

£300 for a motor that unlocks a door, that's not bad Laughing think i would prefer an engine that doubles as a food blender.

I have never looked at the mechanism Solenoid, is it an easy logical thing to fix Embarassed
