Ford Escort 1.6si Dock Locks

Oct 22, 2003 1 Replies

Hi,



Can anyone help ?, I have a Ford Escort 1.6si five door1996. There is a problem with the central locking system, on occasins the drivers door lock will not work, inserting the key and turning does absolutely nothing. If I then unlock the passage door it unlocks and then immediately locks again. So next I unlock the passenger door and open it quickly before it locks, this make all the locks on the car continously lock and unlock. This continues until I reach inside and open the drivers door. Everything then goes back to normal!.



This problem is only intermitant and is driving me crazy.... I took the car into a ford dealer but was unable to recreate the problem and it was therefore not fixed.



Any ideas ?



Many thanks, Ian.


I'd clean/replace the driver door lock contacts - sounds like the system thinks the drivers door is continuously trying to lock.
