XJS v12 Boot wont lock? help
Hi all,
Ive just joined the forum as im now the lucky owner of a 5.3 V12 facelift which ive wanted for around 10 years now. It has a few problems im trying to get on and fix asap so here I am back in the forums where true knowledge lurks so I can fix my beaut.
Ok so the boot locking problem! ive just bought this car so dont know of its past issues with the boot lock although I have lots of history with the car.
If i put the key in the drivers door and turn it to lock both doors will lock and re open straight away and will keep doing this if you try to lock it with the drivers door, if you try to lock it with the passenger door it locks fine first time but cant un lock with the passenger door as the key will not turn in that direction, it just seems to lock, the drivers door however will unlock both doors fine with a single turn no issues, with all that happening at no stage does the boot lock, I had a look in the boot and the boot lock motor wasnt plugged in so I did this but no change, ive gone through all the fuses in the car I could find just checking for blown fuses and not a single one which is good i guess, there is no keyhole to manually lock the boot so i need to get this manual central locking system working nice.
Can anyone suggest things to do and check from experience please will the boot and door locking motors need cleaning or is it a possible boot lock replacement or maybe even a relay as ive never seen so many relays tucked away like this?
Any help is greatly appreciated and many Thanks in advance.
