Hey Guys,
I'm newly registered here but I've been using the site for a while now to look through all the old posts to help me with a few problems I have with my 1997 (R reg) P38 4.6L HSE.
One of the many problems I have is that the Right Front Door lock (Front Driver's Side) doesn't lock the central locking either by the key in lock from the outside or by pushing the lock button on the door from the inside.
If I do do the same from the front passenger side then both front and rear doors are locked. Its then only the tailgate that doesn't lock.
My key fobs don't work but I'm thinking as the batteries went flat they will need to be re-synchronised, and from what I have been reading it seems that can only be done in the drivers door lock?
I took the door card off to inspect/test the door actuator and someone has already been in there before me as the foam covering has been gaffa taped back up. They had also unplugged the smaller connector with the one black wire in it. (My actuator is the 2 plug type as its a early P38). When I plugged the smaller connecter back in and turned the ignition back on, I then got a "ALARM FAULT" message appear on the dash.
Am I right to think the actuator needs to replaced as although it works when a signal is sent from the passenger door, it will not work when activated from itself??
I would like to add that the motor starts and drives fine, but I would like to get the central locking working as I get worried leaving the tailgate unlocked when I park up in the for the evening.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
