Before anyone slates me, I have looked online and even though there is alot of material available it does not seem to cover my situation completely.
I will explain...
I have a 2000 Ford Focus - 3 door, remote central locking and remote tailgate.
Up until yesterday it all worked fine, i pottered out to the car and it unlocked fine!! (Both sides) I drove to a friends house (2 miles) went to lock the car and i heard the central locking repeat itself.
Upon investigation this is what happens:
REMOTE BUTTON
-Locks drivers door - Passenger door is NOT locked so the drivers unlocks itself again.
DRIVER INTERIOR LATCH
- Locks drivers door - Passenger door is NOT locked so the drivers unlocks itself again.
So now i'm thinking ah fair enough there must be a problem with the passenger solenoid.
PASSENGER INTERIOR LATCH
- Locks BOTH doors - Car is secure
If anyone has any idea what is happening here please help me out. I have just replaced the REMOTE battery - but this is not the issue. I have removed number 63 fuse for 10 minutes... when replaced the drivers motor activates.
Is there a problem with the feed from the control unit to the passenger solenoid possibly??
Thanks in advance.
Mike.
