Rear Passenger side door not locking - Perth-WRX.com

HaiiSon · #1 27-05-2011, 05:36 PM

Hey guys...
I know its obvious, but just want to make sure.
So I just picked up my car from the repairer who replaced my rear passenger side door.
When I came home and locked the car, that door they worked on wouldnt lock... Would it be because the repairer fcked up? or my central locking is stuffed?
I still have the brant system in the v6 if that means anything.
and also do repairers usually open on saturdays?
Cheers
Hai

ps YES im gonna replace the brant with a auto watch when i get the funds to do so

Yeap do what MattuZ suggested, remove door trim and look for the plug/wiring in the trailing edge of the door. When I got my car back from the panelbeaters once I had the exact same problem, they didn't plug the lock module back in!

^^ What they said, assuming it still locks mechanically?

Here's a pic, the plug should be somewhere in the red circle.

Hey Wozzer how many screws are holding the trim?
Is it only 2 and the rest are clips?

Yeah just two screws, one right in the middle of the door lever and the other below the door handle. The rest are plastic push/pull clips around the edge of the panel, takes a bit of force to get them out.

Just take it back to the repairer... if you fix it before you take it back give them a call and let them know what happened.

When someone comes in and has the same problem as you my boys get in trouble for the fk up!
