bishbosh Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 I had this problem on a previous Rangie when I was in Canada and managed to fix it then. Only problem is I can't remember how I did it! When I blip the remote for the central locking the locks unlock and then immediately lock again. I presume it is the mechanism that is gunged up or misaligned (I've been doing some panel beating recently! ) which stops it reaching the full extent of unlock and so locks itself again. Can anyone confirm this? Is it a case of whipping the door card out and attacking within with WD40? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Sounds like an actuator sticking to me. I had a similar experience when I accidently locked the car whilst working inside it. I then tried to unlock it but it immediately relocked again. I then realised that my elbow was holding down the locking button on the door. HTH Ivan Edited to correct my poor spelling. Just noticed I'm not a newbie anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niall_CSK Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 If it is the actuator sticking then it should be the drivers side. I seem to recal from fitting an alarm a long time ago that the drivers side is the only one with a switch on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre 90 MY had actuator on driver door only but from 90MY> actuators were fitted to both front doors I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niall_CSK Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Sorry Deano maybe not very well worded. I think, certainly on the CSK, the passengers side actuator does not have a switch on it i.e. if you try locking with the key or push the inside button on the pass. side the central locking does not operate because there is no switch. I would probably never have noticed but I needed to fit a same type switch to both doors so that the alarm had feed back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEANO3528 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 2 door anomally perhaps? You'd think a CSK of all motors would have had both front doors locking if only to make it simple to wire the alarm system. The linked front door actuators are 5 wire rather than 4 I seem to recall.

Niall_CSK Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Strengthens the myth that the CSk's were a bit parts bin mentality rather than concept vehicle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Been hanging around your mechanism lately........... he he......... Sorry, no valid answer just fooling around Grem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted August 22, 2005 Author Share Posted August 22, 2005 Fixed it - just put the door card back in properly and attacked everything with WD40 (not in that order ) and all is now well! Thanks all for the replies, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Fixed it ... attacked everything with WD40 ... and all is now well! 1) Which bits did you spray? 2) Do you need to do both front doors? (both of mine work the c/l) 'H' Plate Classic 3.9, incase that makes a difference! Cheers Dunc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Dunc It was as complicated as forcing the little tube on the WD40 can down past the locking button on the door and letting loose with the WD! Don't go too crazy or you'll be cleaning WD40 off the window glass for ever...... Edited December 13, 2005 by bishbosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
