Lock then unlock issue

Scott- The rods that lock her are likely out of adjustment. You or your tech will have to remove the door panel to adjust. There are other possibilities, so some diagnosis will be required to make sure of the problem.

 

Had the same problem with my 360- tried adjusting, but eventually I had to change the door lock it self on the passenger side. Bought a second hand one from Eurospares.
Believe it or not but my friend also got the same symptomes with his 360 also... And yes you guessed it right... I got the job;-) Here's the link on how to adjust I assume:

PS from what I know the locks are the same for 360 and the 430. Others, please correct me if I am wrong.
Good luck Scott

 

Give a whole lotta slack and see if that solves the problem. As in the cable (#4 in diagram) is loose. Then lock it and see if it solves the problem.. then tighten just the slack out of the cable. If you loosen up the cable at the interior handle (#4) and that doesn't work, then try the threaded portion of #3 cable at the lock. Loosen then tighten. Usually in my experience its too tight and the tightness prevents the lock cylinder from closing completely.

as for the switches illuminated all the time....there could be an issue with one of the microswitches or the lock/unlock button(s) could be faulty (most likely switch#12 or #64)

 

If it bounces off then its the lock mechanism. Basically the latch has closed and can't "grip" or latch onto the door post. It could be the cable from the outside door handle that is too tight. Thats the adjuster nut higher up by the lock mechanism in the door. Basically to get to this one you have to open the door and peer up there. Cable on 360's has been known to seize with rust and snap. When this happens you replace it. Check it out.. if its not this, then I'd try the lock mechanism in the door. Have you also tried putting the key in it and locking and unlocking the door with the key?

 

If by white box you mean the lock in the door assembly in the door with all the wires going to it.. then yes. That is what I'd replace. Probably a microswitch that is out of alignment.

BTW did you check the microswitches? Does the window go down when you pull up on either handle? If yes, then the switches on either handle are good.

If the door on the other side works fine and this one just suddenly stops then I'd suspect the door lock unit in the door.

 

Whether your door won't open or won't close, most of the problems with the locks seem to be down to cable #3 in the schematic above getting clogged and preventing the door lock mechanism from finishing it's cycle. All the other odd stuff then happens as a result.

Any progress Scott?
