Good afternoon (evening). Could someone tell me behind which door card the module is located on a RHD. Many thanks. Anthony

 

There are two:- one in each door.

 

Thanks for your reply, i have taken the door card off and removed the speaker and sound deadening, but i can't find the module. where is it hiding?

 

Top left on the drivers door ..three bolts and it pulls out with two connectors ....have fun I changed all my door locks for after market units at £20 the kit ..works great.

 

Do you have a link for those, would be interested.

 

First you need to keep the door module to control the windows/ and security. what I did was mechanically disconnect the door solenoid but leave its wires in place and then attach a solenoid from the kit to work the door locks ..it simulates the key
Easy to do only one hole to drill but then you need a brain to disable the alarm and maintain the horn function ie a diode in the right place.

 

I Purchased a door control module thinking that would fix the issue, no such luck. I have spoken to Auto Reserve about what the problem could be, but they are reluctant to sell me anymore parts until i get the car diagnosed. The common fault he said was the door latch micro switch, but at £250 for the latch, he recommended having the car checked first. Someone on the forum will know their way around the electrics and can tell me how to test the micro switch. Many thanks. Anthony.

 

Easier to just replace the microswitch, I have done it muself once. It's not that hard an hour or so. Use thsi guide, the door locks you can buy will all fail in the same way, mine had been replaced by the previous owner but I had to change my microswitch, my drivers door will fail soon.

Yes I agree change the microswitches for new but I have had switches break away from there mounting (window drop sw) and epoxy and thin cable ties. The whole door lock thing is a nightmare in the end I detached the solenoid and used the door key for a while before replacing the solenoids with a £20 kit of 4 solenoids /controller and two remotes

 

Looks like need to replace the micro switches. Does anyone have the part numbers i am looking for, or where i can buy them. Many thanks. Anthony.

These are the ones you want. You will need to bend the flat steel section to the orginals but it's not hard. Cut the blue wire, you don't need that.

 

Thanks very much.

 

Thank you, do i need three of these?

 

In my case, I needed one new microswitch for each door latch assembly. I ordered that same item number from mouser.com here in the U.S. That was in April 2019 and both replacement microswitches continue to do the job perfectly on both sides of the car....

 

they are on UK ebay but you may fit the switches like I did and find no difference. You must realize that a fault on the system could be in the drivers or the passenger door and fack the whole system up.
