Ok guys, went on a nice trip over some pretty rough roads over the weekend, and now my car wont lock. It seems that when I push the button, the lock goes down, crunch, crunch, crunch and then pops back up and beeps at me. If I lock the door manually, it goes crunch crunch crunch and stays down, so I can close the door, and the car is locked, except the front passengers door, which is the one doing the crunchy sound. So, what is it, why has it done it, and how do I fix it? I just dont want my car sitting out the front all the time, and not being able to lock it.
Cheers guys, hope you can help, Josh :

Yep, you need a new actuator for that door, probably around $60 ?
I had to do my drivers door a few weeks ago.

Undo 3 phillips head screws, take off a few rods that go to the handle etc, swap it over and its done. EASY.

The replacement lock and actuator assembly from Ford has been superseeded to a BA part. You will need a wiring adaptor to make it fit, as they have changed the connector.
If you have a series one AU, you will have more problems too. The original actuator on series one's are a master type, and the replacements are a slave type actuator. There is a minor wiring modification to do at the BEM to get it all working OK with the new LHF actuator. Let me know if you need the info and I'll scan it and post it on here. |

Josh, if you have trouble getting the part from Ford, I got mine from Ford Wreckers Australia down in Capalaba, they have some brand new stuff too and I got mine for $75. They might be able to help you, phone number is 3824-5999.
