For every job I do on project second chance another decides to appear, however this one may be of my doing.
a few weeks ago I fitted a new door lock mechanism to the NS door, it was at this point that I found out there was no wiring loom and so I put out a wanted ad.
The lock was tested in so far as the door opens from the inside and outside with the handles.
One very kindly appeared but I haven’t had a chance to fit it recently as I’ve been busy with front suspension, other cars and weddings!!!!!!
now when I fitted the new lock the door wouldn’t lock, so I moved the red cam that sits on top of the lock so as to secure the car. I have a feeling this is where my issues started.
So today I’ve gone to connect the loom to the lock and get it all working. Wrongly I’ve assumed that by using the internal door handle that would override the door lock. The handle is connected to the lock and it moves the wire but it doesn’t trigger the door latch to unlock.
After a bit of pushing and shoving I managed to get the door card off so I could get inside, the thinking was if I could power up the lock maybe it would release.
powered up the lock and tried the key fob, when I lock the car there is a clunk from the motor/mechanism and the red cam tried to move, when I unlock there’s nothing
it feels like the dead locking is stuck on and whilst the internal and external handles are connected they are not able to trigger the lock to open the door.
ive managed to get a few pictures, I don’t know if this will help
That is literally as good as I can get.
Vcds is showing the lock as being there and no errors.
any suggestions?
