I'm having a problem with my central locking. Via the key and alarm fob only the driver's door locks/unlocks. This problem started last week but for months I've noticed the passenger-side lock button has only been going down about half way. I sprayed the mechanism with WD40 a couple of months ago, but didn't notice much difference.

I've done a search in the forum and uncovered the following from RodHog:

"Now why this might not be working now.

It's quite common for two things to occur.

1st is the small metal spring which activates the small micro switch in the door lock for the central locking has been used so often it's bent slightly the wrong way and no longer activates the switch - easy to fix bend the metal spring up -. NOTE * be careful no to break it.

2nd reason this spring metal is broken off. if this is the case, well if you use a 4 wire /5 wire solenoid or Command solenoid use the two pass on wires or other door activators add it to them wires and it should do the job with out requireing a new door lock as it's the only way to get the switch."

Does anyone have any pics, or additional info? I'd like to have a go at this on my flex day tomorrow - it's the only chance I'll have for the next couple of weeks to look at it.

Thanks guys.
