VZ Power antenna Replacement and central door locking

[daves32]

Hey guys,

Thought i might be able to hit 2 birds with one stone here. I have a VZ commodore wagon and 2 locks in the car wont work off the central locking any more. The drivers door will only work with a key and rear passenger. Is it worth just doing a DIY and change myself (not alot of knowlegde on dismantialing locks) or better to get a proper Auto elec to do it?

Also my antenna wont go down or up any more feels like it is jammed. Again do i replace or there a way to fix?


Thanks guys.

Dave

So many damn problems with this car!

Most likely the door actuator is gone. Can be done yourself if you have the knowledge.
Try pulling the antenna out manually and get some CRC and spray it up and down, wiping the excess as you go. Sometimes they get stiff and need a bit of lube to keep them going, i just done mine recently and it fixed it up.
