Skezza Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Central locking microswitches are nackered due to dodgy soldering. Probably the same problem I, and everyone else seems to be having right now lolFix 1: Disassemble lock, remove CL mech, dismantle resolder microswitches.Fix 2: Disassemble lock, replace CL mech with new one.Either way it's a pain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy them off eBay and various places. They're about 40 quid brand new, delivered.Don't make the mistake I did and buy a second hand one. I was stupid and figured it would fix the problem, which it did, but the new one was just as worn as the old one and has pretty much developed all of the same faults as the last one. Although it's more hit and miss than anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
