davidv10 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I have just found out that my passenger side door can still be opened when the car is locked. Really embarrassingly it happened during a sale viewing! Obviously this isnt something you usually check is working (i hardly ever have a passenger)... You can hear the door mechanism click when you lock the car, but the door still opens (setting off the alarm). With the door open you can force push the mechanism into the locked position, and then when you open the door from the internal handle it then unlocks the mechanism. So it isnt jammed, just unresponsive when it needs to be locked. it just appears that the locking signal isnt getting to that actuator, or the mechanics that push it into the lock position arent working. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogyRev Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) Did you check the locking/unlocking settings in the console screen? Pretty sure you can set behaviour in there Edited July 24, 2020 by DoogyRev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoogyRev Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Most modern cars have setting to change lock/unlock behaviour, including doors, light flash, beep etc. No idea where/if the 370 has them, did you check the manual? Or perhaps its a Key Fob operation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidv10 Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 Thanks guys. Its actually the passenger door lock not locking into place when the car is locked stationary, as opposed to the doors auto-locking when you are moving. The garage has said its the door actuator that has gone. The signal is reaching the door lock, but its just the mechanism not actually locking. So ive got one on order and will hopefully get it fitted late this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
