Front Driver Door lock Failure?
Hello All,
Havea 2000 Disco with an anoyning problem. The front driver side door lock does not work with the key FOB or central locking swithch.
It will open, if locked, when the door handle is pulled from the inside.
Also, it can be locked and unlocked from the outside with the key in the door.
Replaced the actuator with a used one from a LR dismantler, but does the exact same thing?
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Nick

Also forgot to mention; I dissassembled the original actuator and found one of the two DC motors did not function, which I though was the problem.
Seems so unlikely the second actuator has the same failure.
The supplier did say they would replace it free.

Pulled the actuator and the arm did NOT move outside of the mounting position when the central switch was engaged.
Checked the contacts on the connector, clean as it was new.
Guess it looks like the replacement is a failure as well.
I will send it out and post results when the next actuator arrives. Should be a week in total with shipping

The auctuator ironically came from what looks like your location, Oaklahoma.
As I said they were really good about making it right, so I don't want to give an impression that they did anything wrong. Just sucks that I have to do the job again.
Never a good sign when one gets good at certain repairs. LOL
Can do it with a blind-fold on.
