Dash Rendar Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Now I've had my alarm sorted, I'm still left with the central locking problem that started up since the cold weather. Basically, sometimes, when I use the remote fob to unlock, it disarms the alarm and unlocks the car. But usually, it fails to unlock the car. The remote key fob almost always manages to lock the car. At first I had assumed it was an issue with the remote, but recently I've found that sometimes the button in the cabin refuses to work too, and I have to reach over to unlock the passenger door. Sometimes, the passenger door handle does seem quite stiff. That said, the unlocking issue affects both doors. It's been suggested that the problem is a faulty solenoid, which I should replace. Does that sound reasonable? Can anyone tell me the part number of give me a price? I presume I'll need one for both sides? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra Gaz Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I just solved this problem after 3 months of screaming at my car! Try releasing all the connections in the drivers door, drying them out, try a hairdryer, the leave them to dry over night, put back together and if that doesn't work strip the connections and make new ones like I did! Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
