Door pump pipe loose in the electrical coupler.
« on: 20 February 2011, 10:58 »
The central locking pipe has come loose in the white connector block from the door to the car. Where you screw the contacts together. It has popped back into the connector.
When I unlock, the pump keeps running until I start the engine, or I open the passenger door, and there is a "psst" where the pipe pops out of the seal.
Any ideas how to fix it? It looks a little like there should be a clip or something to hold it (perhaps I should go look at the drivers side now I come to think about it :) )
Cheers.

Glued it back into place, but the problem still occurs. although, not had the pressure release when I open the door all the way now.
It would mean a whole new door loom to replace it wouldn't it? Seems to be one part.
