When I lock my VR's doors with the button on the key all the locks go down and then cycle immediately up again. If I manually push the drivers door button down all doors lock and then unlock fine with the button. I thought at first the orange locking piece on the drivers door lock was stopping it going down or that the button was out of alignment but it does it even with the button off. Any ideas anyone?

Sounds like an actuator is on its way out, likely the drivers side.

Called machinegunning and can be just adjustment but probably the lock motors switch making **** contact.

Thanks Mate, I'll try adjusting before I swap it out.

Had a similar thing with the vs.
Cleaned the plug with contact cleaner (cant remember if i could open it and cleaned that too, its been probably 8 years) and manually cycled it through a few times.
Eventually came good again.

Thanks mate, I'll give that a try. I'll admit I couldn't find an adjustment, but I may not be looking in the right place.
