Thread: LH rear door not unlocking but locks

Yep had the same issue.
Replaced the door actuator, sourcing part from UK for about 95AUD delivered (from memory).

Ok cool thanks for the info. How did you do it? Is it in the rave manual anywheres? I'm not really sure what section I'm supposed to be looking in.

I have come to the conclusion its often the left rear door due to kids pulling the handle whislt you are remote opening the door. My kids (& wife) have clear insructions to not pull on the door handles until they hear the "all clear" so far no more faulty locks.

I think this is the tute that I used.

Thanks to UP again.

Well, SWMBO's door will now lock but not unlock with the fob on the 04 D2a TD5 auto (148K). (new car, her still learning to WAIT until ignition is off before opening door - she is usually half way through double handle opening when ignition goes off, so I suppose it's all my fault!)

I've just downloaded Urban Panzers "how to" for replacing the door lock assembly -ugh.

1 Is there anything else I can/should check before ordering a new front passenger assembly? I do have nanocom evo 2 and RAVE, but haven't yet had to get into the wide wonderful world (www) of diagnostics.

2 Assuming I won't get a decent price in OZ, anyone with a recently bought one/supply recommendations? (presumably ex UK). On the bright side, maybe I can justify an something extra for wee beastie to mitigate the transport costs - ummmmm!

Hi Gavin,
I suppose if you have the schematics you can remove the connector at the door actuator and measure the voltage when operating the lock/unlock switch. If you can see it change, then the actuator needs to be replaced.
This involves removing the door trim though.
Ninety nine times out of a hundred, the actuator will be the problem.

I hunted one down from the UK, delivered for around 100AUD. Ebay, I think.
If you search for the part number on Google UK, you should be able to find something reasonably priced.

The job of installing it is not as hard as it looks.

Cheers,
Biggin

Given I still can't access my Microcat purchased from "the shop", can anyone please confirm the part number for the following for my disco?
MY04 D2a (TD5 auto) - front passenger (LHS) door locking assembly.
It will be something like FQJ102900 - I can't tell if there is any difference between left passenger and right drivers doors.
Cheers Gavin

I just used the number you posted and subtracted 10.

Britcar (UK) Ltd > Your Search Results

This is were I purchase nearly all my parts. I have bought the front LHS from these guys previously. You have to get the LHS as the RHS does not work. This latch holds the door closed.

Also finally found this for you. Should answer a lot of your questions.
