Check locking mechanisms as i was in the doors anyway

My money is on the bonnet switch, when disconnected the microswitch performs correctly but when plugged in there is continuity regardless of if the switch is open or closed so I suspect a wiring fault but as I said I thought I'd check the locking mechanisms as I was in the doors anyway
Leading evidence: 'Replace rather a lot of these locks' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'wiring fault' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check locking mechanisms as i was in the doors anyway' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Once I'd done the drivers side I thought I may aswell check the passenger side too and that's when I noticed the thing with the black sections.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I don't have a problem with the mechanical side of the locks, I'm still getting a single beep when removing the ignition key.
Hi guys,
not sure if anyone will have an answer for this but here goes, I've had both door lock mechanisms out today and noticed a difference in the workings of the actual mechanisms between drivers and passenger side and wondered if it's actually an issue or normal.
on the drivers lock with the catch fully open this is what the mechanism looks like inside. (were focusing on the black plastic piece in the centre of the picture and the silver piece that is just covering it in the first picture)
this is what the mech looks like with the catch closed to the first click, as you can see the black piece is now free to slide up
and with the catch on the second click, so fully closed it looks like this, again the black piece is free to move
now for the passenger side, first picture catch fully open, black piece is free to move
catch on first click, black bit free to move
catch on second click, fully closed black bit free to move
so my question is should the black bit be able to move with the catch fully open or not? basically is one side broken or are they both meant to be different between nearside and offside? I can't see anything broken or missing from side to side when comparing them to each other
cheers
chris
Hmm .. ive replaced rather a lot of these locks but never really taken much notice of how they work ..
Do you have an actual fault when fitted to the car ? ie does one side not lock ?
The black part would be the part that stops the door handles opening the car but from the outside only ( locked ) .. in theory it should not be able to move into the lock position if the catch is open ... if it did then when you closed the door it would be locked .
If you push it with a screwdriver then thats different to how the lock would normally work and there is a spring to stop that happening .
Im afraid thats the best i can work out from the pictures
I don't have a problem with the mechanical side of the locks, I'm still getting a single beep when removing the ignition key. I had to remove one door card to sort out the window stop so thought I'd remove the lock mechanism and test the micro switches inside it whilst I was in there abd they all appear to work correctly and have continuity to the wiring plugs.
Once I'd done the drivers side I thought I may aswell check the passenger side too and that's when I noticed the thing with the black sections.
You get a single beep on locking the car to tell you something is open when it should be closed .. ie center cubby , glove box etc .. a single beep on removeing the key from the ignition is a new one on me im afraid .
I would be putting a tester on it and looking at fault codes and actual values of all the locks as this is just plain weird !
Best and a total guess atm is the alarm cu has got wet and is messing around , which is common on a cab but not on a coupe .
Alarm ecu appears fine no sign of water ingress. My money is on the bonnet switch, when disconnected the microswitch performs correctly but when plugged in there is continuity regardless of if the switch is open or closed so I suspect a wiring fault but as I said I thought I'd check the locking mechanisms as I was in the doors anyway
