Hi Nigel, Thanks so much for taking the time to do this video. Your narration was extremely well spoken and your detailed video, easy to follow. I have owned my 2013 MC Mondeo since new and it has been a fantastic car. The only three things that have ever gone wrong with it have been a faulty rear LED driving light, a faulty cruise control switch on the steering wheel and finally the door lock actuator, which I have been meaning to fix for over 2 years, Finally got around to doing it today and thanks to your video, I was able to complete the job without breaking any plastic fittings, which I find can be the biggest challenge when removing car trim. Thanks again Regards Steve

Consice and detailed demo, made work simple 👌

Huge THANKS, took mine apart after watching your video and had no trouble at all, thanks again Nigel

Thank you Nigel. I have a 1998 Mondeo. The passenger door is not locking, the inner lock won't push in to lock. I got so far on taking the door apart, but couldn't figure out how to get the locking mechanism out until I watched those particular steps on your video. Superb - thank you very much for taking the time to do this. You make it very clear and straightforward.

Just want to say a huge thank you for your easy to do door lock replacement. Everything was exactly on point.... Thank you very much...

Well done. That’s what it’s all about.

Very clear video! Managed to get the doorlock out on our car and went a step further to see if I could fix the machanism. That didn't work out so a replacement part is on order now. Without your video I probably would have ended up paying 2-3x more in our Ford dealer garage. Cheers and again, many thanks! Greetings from Netherlands.

Hi Nigel, brilliant video, great tutorial. I used it this morning to change the mechanism in my drivers door. I was worried it might be more complicated due to the lock barrel being in place but not at all. Your video gave me the confidence to have a crack at it. It took me about an hour start to finish. Thank you so much for filming and posting it on here! James Mount

Fantastic video, thank you! I have a Smax but fairly confident that the door/locking mechanism is virtually identical. I have been putting off doing this repair for nearly 2 years and wasn't confident enough to take the lock apart. I will now be ordering the 2nd replacement and give it a bash! Thanks again

Drivers door was it

Usefully!!! Big thanks from Vietnam. ❤️🤝 My Mondeo driver door has the same issue as yours. I am going to fix its as your direction. Thank so much again, Sir!

Thanks Nigel. did this job at the weekend on my MK4 driver door; your video made it an easy fix. keep up the good work!

Great instructions. Easy to follow and I was easily able to do the job. Mondeo mk4 passenger door would lock but would not unlock using the remote control. Had to reach across and use the handle inside the door to let a passenger in. Awkward. All fixed now with a second hand part fitted using these instructions. Thanks a million

Nigel, this video was amazing. Helped me fix this exact issue with a part from AliExpress (New Zealand based), was easy to follow and made the fix easy. Please keep making more videos :)

Hi Nigel 👍 Gutes Vodeo, Gut erklärt, hatte an meinem S-Max das gleiche Problem, ähnlich wie bei dir bewegte sich die Mechanik nur noch ganz gering. Durch einsprühen mit Balistol konnte ich die Funktion wieder herstellen. Hi Nigel 👍 Good video, well explained, I had the same problem on my S-Max, similar to yours, the mechanics only moved very slightly. I was able to restore function by spraying it with Balistol.

Hi! Exact same thing happened to my Mk4. Stripped it down but couldn’t see problem, I assumed replacement would be expensive so I’ve just got into habit of manually locking & unlocking. I may price up 2nd hand parts in the Bay then, at least I now know it’s definitely the locking mechanism then 👍 Thanks!! Love your MK4 vids, very useful & you explain things very well buddy 😉

most propably it is due to water getting into mechanism. Some of moisture is slowly working it way with the machanism. In my mk4 problem is in winter when inside handle dont open the door until the car is warm.

Great video very helpful nidge

Thanks for useful video in my case the inside locking pins it moving but very little do I have to change the whole electrical module or what

The door micro switch is part of the door locking latch mechanism. I don’t know an easy way to get to the wiring to bypass and think it would be less effort to take the lock mechanism out and either use switch cleaner or replace it. See my video kzread.info/dash/bejne/oIWZpLyFYsWcpNo.html. There may be a way by which you can use the cleaner without a strip down. Take out the two top torx screw from the end of the door that hold the lock and try spraying the cleaner downwards through the holes. It may work.

Do you have a tow hitch and wiring fitted as it could be the buzzer sometimes fitted to that. The other possibility is the rear parking sensor module. In the boot take the cover off to reveal the rear near side light cluster. Have a look for a box. Also try and reproduce the fault with ignition on, engine not running, lights on and get someone to press the brake pedal. Then go look for the buzz in the boot.

nigel, i have an issue with my front pass door unlocking itself whie driving. whats your view here ? moisture, wiring. I believe it fried my central locking ecu a few months ago i think.

@NigelEaland

Жыл бұрын

My first thought is you need to scan the car for faults with Forscan and a OBD2 interface. This should highlight fault errors. Watch my video. Not sure I understand what you mean by the central locking ECU. As far as I know there isn’t one. Each door has a control module that is connected to the car’s MS CAN bus network. When you lock the car a command comes over the MS bus and each door module locks their door. Are you saying none of the doors remote lock? If it’s isolated to just the passenger door then I would look at that door’s control module. It’s unlikely to be moisture or wiring.

I think you are right. The lock mechanism has the switch which is wired to the control unit mounted on the door. It signals open or closed over the CAN network. Most likely is the switch failure.

Insert the key and turn it to the left, not to the right. You should be able to open the door. Secondly change the battery in your fob. With luck it will work without programming it back to the car. If it doesn’t work then see my video about key fob battery change and programming. Good luck.
