Another curve ball: rear door locks

Henrik97 · Apr 18, 2011

Gentlemen,
Car is a '97 4.6 HSE. Just came back from a weeks travel and now the rear door locks won't operate other than manually from the inside. The fuel flap was open. WTF?? It seems every time I leave her for a few days, she cooks up something new all of her own. Just like someone else I used to know...

Any ideas?

No, no - that wasn't daft at all. It was indeed a blown fuse. All is now working again, but I fear it will be temporary. Fuses normally blow for a reason.....

If you get a chance take out the locks and the fuel flap solenoid and give them a good clean / lubricate. If they get sticky and dirty they will need more power to move and that extra load could be the problem.
