Take the lid of and check the connector block for the door lock is attached to the pcb.

I seem to remember having the same problem with an Ultima and had to call an engineer out who changed motor brushes. Apparently, this is also the 'code' for brushes as well as door lock? Worth taking a look in any case as it could be a cheap repair.

....all done. It was the door lock which my husband replaced for 10.95. Result. Thanks for your input.
