Lock not coming up...

[CrimsonThunder]

Hey sometimes when I push the lock button on my key one of the locks wont respond, sometimes if I push it a few times it'll eventually come down like the rest.

My next door neighbour said that happend to his too... So it might be a common problem. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Cheers.

Central locking motor on its way out, sounds like. Either take the door panel off and lube all the moving parts, or replace the actuator. Or both.

Viagra?

new door lock actuator should do be the problem just double check when you go to buy the part the guys there will know what you need.

Yeah and no i havent taken the trim off.

I'm going to lube it before i buy a new actuator cos that sounds expensive.

Thanks for the help.

Yes, lube it all up, If its a rear door, dont forget to lube up the guide that the steel arm sits in. In the front just lube it all up everywhere.
Mine used to be especially bad in high humidity or wet weather, hardly any of them worked then
