My recently acquired XF is not Locking Unless Driver's Door is manually locked from Inside First, thus preventing mirrors from folding. Worked before I bought it, Garage put a new boot rubber on it before we picked it up, could this be a coincidence? The door mechanism seems to try to flip closed but gets sort of halfway and I get the souble beep-beep. I have seen somewhere that there may be a link between the boot (or trunk) sensor and the issue with the car not locking.

Hiya did you solve your problem as my xfr is doing the same

 

It’s the lock motor at fault

 

is that the lock motor sticking or knackered??

 

It could be the motor that’s worn, or full of goo, or worn drive gear

 

ok cheers for that will give it a go with some wd40 first see if it loosens it up

 

You’ll need to take the whole lock mechanism out and then take it apart before you can see the motors (there’s actually two of them sitting side by side)
