Window And Central Locking Fault
Posted: Mon Apr 11, 2022 1:33 pm
New here, Just bought my Daughter a 57 Reg 5Dr Polo.
Central Locking and the electric windows packed up at the same time, seems to be a common problem. The Motors have only got 1 plug so not the control unit style(well I'm guessing this)
The fault
The central locking isn't working from either door lock when using the key
The central locking is working from the lock/unlock interior switch
When using the interior locking switch the NSF door lock is bouncing & Interior light not coming on when door opened
Both Windows are not working from the OSF switch
NSF window works intermittently - strange thing is it works regardless of ignition lock position (no pattern in making it work)
Interior light working from the OSF
I have checked the wiring in the grommet into the vehicle with no signs of damage or corrosion.
I have replaced the NSF lock and now this will lock the vehicle all round.
OSF door lock still not locking the vehicle and windows not working.
After the NSF door lock mech (one off eBay) was open and closed half a dozen times the deadlock has activated and unable to open the door, you can see and hear the lock unlocking but unable to open the door from inside or out.
I only have a basic scanner but this showed no faults stored.
