Categories:
Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights
The car has the rover 25 standard issue alarm / central locking fob however this now only seems to activate the alarm, the central locking is not working off the fob and the car has to be undone with the key.
When you could lock or unlock the car, there was a grinding noise, now it just not work and now I am unable to open the passsenger door. The passsenger door has no key hole only drivers door. Also the light inside the car do not came on.
I have checked all the fuses and put on a new battery.
Please can anyone HELP????????
Do i need to take it to a garage , or can i do something about it myself or my husband??

the grinding noise could have been the central locking motor siezing up and will most likely want replacing but first check that you are getting power to the motors that operate the locks then go on to the motors if there is power going to them

It is not unusual for the door actuators to beccome noisey on these cars but it sounds like you need a new battery in your remote. if you have left it to long on this model you may have to go to a suitably equipped garage to rectify this problem.

I also have this problem, please could you advise me if you managed to get it sorted out. I can't get into my passenger door.

In my experience, the graunching / grinding noise comes from the deadlock - which is a secondary locking device that prevents the main lock from being forced by a car thief. The deadlock is located at the bottom of the main lock unit. To stop the noise, the main lock / deadlock unit has to be replaced or the deadlock disabled. If the deadlock is disabled, the main lock should still work fine. You'll just lose the added security of the deadlock.

How do you disconnect just the deadlock without the rest?
Other than that where would be the best place to buy one from.
