Thread: TD5 Double Cab Central Locking Question

does the central locking work when you unlock it from the drivers door?

Good question! I dont know.

I'll have a try when I get home tonight and let you know.

If it does, does that narrow down the possible cause?

Thx
J

Hi there,
Just been outside to test. sat inside, locked / unlocked the front door, rear door did not lock/unlock.

I can also confirm the rear door does not lock/open when i turn the key in the front door.

Sadly answer therefore is No.

Regards,
Jon

Yes I would remove the door trim and have a look. not a very hard job but those plastic clip always break

I have the same problem on my Defender , Rear driver side door.
Took the trim off & everything worked fine, so I suspect the mechanisim fouls with the trim, bent / adjusted/ lubed with graphite. Put trim back on & same problem. Use Graphite , not WD40 as WD40 etc attracts dust & worsens the problem.

There are dints around the door handle where it looks like the prev owner has been thumping it to get it to work.

Be sure & get yourself a set of spare door trim studs ($6.00 ebay) you will need them.
