Re: Central Locking, Double Take? (archive)

What a co-incidense I was having the same problem after replacing the broken bracket that the actuator is screwed on.Everything was fine before the cover went on the door. AS soon as I put the door cover back on it had symptoms just like yours. So I ignored it for about a week, untill last night I dicided to take care of it.
And once again when I took the panel off everything was honky DOORY(get it)so in my case the problem was that the upright door plunger rod was bent a little out of shape and withthe door panel on it got trapped between the metal and the door panel, and could'ntmove freely. I think you must be having the same problem. Take the panel off and try everything without it,and see what happens.

Okay, so curing my c/locking problem wasn't as easy as I'd thought. Whenever I lock the doors, they lock & then unlock. Lock them again & they stay locked. Same happens when unlocking, it takes two attempts! I've tried swapping the Relay Module & the General Module (ZKE), with known good units, but to no effect. This is assuming that either one of these modules handles the c/locking? Any help here would be much appreciated.
