Advice requested: door lock actuator replacement? | |
RR 5.0l V8 Supercharged 2011
Symptoms: locking car with fob and I get a soft "beep, beep" which I have understood means failure to lock the car. Door mirrors do not fold but all doors are locked when I try to open them. However, if I unlock rear left door, close it, and then try to lock the car again then that door does not lock, it stays unlocked with the black push pin still up. Opening that door will sound the alarm.
I have bought a cheap door lock actuator from a breaker, from a 2012 RR, replaced the one I suspected was bad (which was really simple, remove three bolts, remove the door card, unwrap the foam, unbolt the lock, remove from car and install the replacement). However, problem is still the same, i.e. two beeps when locking and left rear door stays either locked or unlocked irrespective if I lock/unlock the car using fob.
Advice requested: was the replacement door lock actuator also busted and I need to pay up for a brand new LR part, or would anyone now troubleshoot something else?
I found similar problem described on a L405 here: https://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic66308...ep+locking and solution appeared to be buying a new door lock.
