Thread: Misbehaving door locks

I have had this happen a couple of times as well

Once I swap the BECM I will start chasing this as well!

Peter, Thanks for the info. I will pluck up the courage and take it out first to see if anything is obviously corroded etc. If that does not work a new one will be sourced.
On the issue of no interior lights triggering, my osr door is intermittent. It was never working until I fired WD40 into the lock area. It has made it better but not 100%. There is a write-up on RR.net on the micro switches corroding and sticking so I will defiantly have a go at that once the Front is behaving again.

might find that "3-IN-ONE" 'professional dry lubricant' is a better option for door locks. It's manufactured by the same mob who produce WD-40. It is a teflon-type active ingredient in a volatile carrier.. when it dries there's no oily residue to attract dust. I got a can of the stuff from Whitworth's Marine Supplies. (also freed up the blend flap in the heater plenum...no more $$$ symbol!! )
Word of warning: Wait plenty of time for the hydrocarbon propellant/carrier to evaporate... it's quite flammable

I was at the locksmith the other day and mentioned using graphite in the locks and one of the guys said "WD40 is the best" like Hoges I always thought it left an oil film which attracted dust.

They actually used INOX in my ignition switch which is a pure silicone spray I think

When I got back home, I found to my pleasant surprise that I had a couple of handle mechanism repair kits and have now fixed the handle problem properly.

Worth checking before assuming it is the micro-switches.
