Thread: Horn beeps when locking

If that is the 1 that you disconnected and no misslock beep happened then yes, replace it. It is the latch that plays up. It may pay to check the others too though, ie replug that 1 and then test the others just to be sure.

With that one replugged the misslock will come back so nothing else is testable on that common circuit

I'm no sparky so this may be a dumb question, but if a wire was broken could that be causing the problem, not the actuator? I ask because this happened to my driver's side rear door. The actuator was replaced and it still didn't lock. Turned out to be the wire in the grommet in the door having been crushed. Lot cheaper to fix a wire than to replace an actuator. Just a thought.

It's a fair point hence why I'm asking for confirmation ! Just going to have to bite the bullet rather than go to an auto electrician. I'm inspected the wires and they seem in pretty good knick so I'm going to just go for it.

Fair enough. Think I'm going to a sparky next week to get three issues, including this one, sorted on the Defender and the camper trailer all in one go.

OK, Did not understand that they are on a common circuit.

UPDATE: Today I successfully finished a double door lock actuator install and could not be happier.

The door frame was a little stubborn and the power windows but in the end it is all in working order. The key learnings I can take for both the driver door and passenger door are as follows.

1. Be patient when removing the actuator itself as it is very challenging to get out and place back in.

2. Lift the door frame higher than the inner brace on the door it helps you slide the actuator straight in

3. Don't do the latch side t40 torx bolt up too tight as it can create too much friction with the electronic Windows.

The guide I used I printed out from

Lastly I would like to thank everyone who helped allong the way as it all started with my mislock diagnosis. Special mention goes to sierrafery you are a wizard.

Wellcome and well done, i'm glad it's sorted
