    Default central locking sometimes faulty on rear drivers side.

    so sometimes (every once in a while) the central won't unlock the rear drivers side door, and reaching in to lift the tab seems impossible too.
    i vaguely remember someone once writing something about a worn out nub on an actuator or something, could anyone elaborate or give help if they've had a similar problem?

    i had this problem, but mine would only go half way down. then stopped working all together.

    i replaced the actuator and then removed the door lock and sprayed it with CRC and now its working fine.

    the mechanics of the lock dry out and become harder to move thus burning the actuator out.

    fix:
    1.remove door card
    2.remove actuator
    3.unclip plastic clips from "control rods" (just gave them that name, dont know what they're called)
    4.remove door lock (3 screws where door meets chasis)
    5.give the lock a hose down with CRC and reinstall, make sure it operates smoothly
    6.install new actuator then your away
