Passenger Door needs two pulls to open

767 Views 5 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  ppp
My passenger door has been working fine until a couple of days ago, now when I unlock the car whether by key, RCL or internal button you have to give either the external or internal handle two pulls to open the door i.e pull, release pull.

It seems that when i unlock the door the pin doesn't quite pop up all the way.

any suggestions?

anybody? this is driving me nuts
sounds like a lazy lock solenoid, no idea how to rectify but i doubt it's too expensive, someone with more knowlege should hopefully be able to help better
No matter what you'll have to strip the door all the way to find out why and rectify it,but as above it does sound like the central locking actuator isn't moving quite as far as it should do.So the problem is PROBABLY with the mechanism inside the door lock module.....
