And now it wont lock at all. Had a play with the boot mech and it worked but now doesnt again. Im certain its one of the door mechs on mine. They are easy to take out but im unsure how to test to see whick 1 it is.

I took it out and gave it a good clean and plenty of WD-40 and hey presto it was fine after that. I decided to lube the other 3 locks as sometimes one of them would bounce, they're all fine now too.There could be some water in the lock that has frozen which is causing the problem. If you've got a long enough extension lead and a hair dryer try warming them to melt the ice and see what happens then.

A) The solenoids in the door have failed, you need new ones.
Either down to the weather (freezing up) or they have failed completely.
#6: Re: central locking door locks keep bouncing (wont lock) Author: gixxerkev, Location: wiltshirePosted: Sat Feb 11, 2012 6:02 am ---- As I posted earlier try drying/warming and lube before replacing, why spend a fortune when a bit of DIY can save £'s.

You can pick them up pretty cheap. I do them for £11.50 delivered

Still more expensive than a can of WD40 which is only £3 max.

That is only a temporary measure most of the time.

WD40 bodgetastic.
If people serviced there cars correctlty then there wouldnt be a problem with the door latches sticking or freezing
