hi guys, at the title says.....

this appears to me very intermittent.....
and resolved by putting the key back in, turning the ignition back on and off...

bu the question is WHY.. is this a BCM fault ? or in the ignition ?


cheers as ever

Do a search, covered many times. Get some graphite lock lube and lube the barrel, it's the shutter/microswitch sticking.

As Datatek says, however do not use wd40 or the ilk, just gums up the lock.

give it a good spray with some electrical contact spray or as suggested graphite grease but keep pressing the barrel in and out numerous times whilst spraying etc it will be ok after that its just that after old age it sticks in with continued usage ,, "sounds a bit naughty that " before all the lunatics jump in " you know who you are !!!!!!!!!! ho ho ho , cheers mozz

Bit like the fella talking to the bloke next door. "You just papered your front room and your house is the same size as mine, how many rolls of paper did you get"? "Twelve" replies the bloke. A couple of weeks later they are talking again. "You know you said you got twelve rolls of paper for the front room? "Yeah", says the bloke next door. "Well", says the fella. "I had four rolls left over". "Yeah" says the next door bloke. "So did I".
