Well the passenger side door lock (uk) has been giving me issues for the past two weeks. When the car is locked after a while to lock clicks away and the interior lights come on and go off also the corener lights flash occasionally.
I ordered a replacement door lock module from Niall at Ashwoods here in the U.K and it was sat waiting for me to fit it.
After looking through the service manual I went at it and got it done, its a shame the service manual missed out quite a few things you need to do to get it out!!!! however after doing similar on my previous cars I got it done.
I do have photos to upload and share I just need to go through them all ( I took so many )
One thing thats made me grin though is that after putting it all back together i forgot to put the cable back on the door handle pull release sensor, this means when I unlock the car and pull the handle to open the door it doesn't open!
Luckily when I was looking over the photos i spotted it and realised I had not put it back in. it's ok until I get home tomorrow and sort it out, it locks and all is good again.
Just a couple of quick photos more to follow.
