hi folks I've searched through threads but can't find answer
I've got a 06 4.2 SC and when I lock with key fob rear door doesn't lock
I don't get a beep when I set alarm. I can lock it from inside and unlock with key fob.
door will not lock like the rest do when I drive down the road.
could the lock switch be faulty or could it just need a bit of lubricant?
don't really want to pull door apart to many times if I'm best to just get a new locking mechanism
thanks guys and girls for your information

Hi,

sounds like the door actuator, have a search many threads about it, I have just (and I mean just) done the n/s/f on my D3

I went for a s/h unit £15, it can be taxing but very do able powerful uk have done a few utube clips changing them

thanks for that I'll give them a look up been looking at it today and it locked a couple of times them sometimes it won't
so new mechanism it will be

Hi,

its most likely to be the little motor inside the actuator thats passed its best, you can replace just that part about £5 but you need to take the actuator out and strip it down to replace the motor and your best stripping it first to make sure which motor to order, shaft length and gear on the end
so unless you have a selection ready its easier ( ) to replace the full unit.

My wrist and forearm are showing the signs of fat arm inside a small door space this morning
