Peterla Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I have just fitted an alarm to my diso Jan 94 TDi. The alarm came with a central locking solenoid I fitted to the drivers side door. It seems the soleniod is not strong enough to lock the door. I have approached a local wrecker and asked if the sender mounted to the driver door that locks the other doors can be replaced with a sender and soleniod aswell. He told me that he thought the senser was a solenoid aswell but was not able to give me a wiring drawing. Can anyone confirm this and let me know the what the wires do. If this is not the case is there a later model disco part I can get to replace my sender unit that is a combined sender and solenoid. Any help would be appreciated.

Pete Hi Pete, I will be interested to see the results from your question, As it could be a common fault. My 94/95disco 300Tdi has had the same issue, IE sometimes it locked but mostly it seemed as if there is no power to to action the soleniod. I changed the fob battery... but no change. it now locks most times but with a very slow action. I hope some of the more informed members can shed some light on this one for you as it might help a lot of others with the same issue... good luck Lawrence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbeaumont Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I'd almost be willing to put money on the problem being dirt in the lock(s), in both your cases. Give it a good clean up and a bit of light oil and it should then operate easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
