Perplexing Lock\light problem

[Lee_dub]

Alright lads, after a little journey I tried to lock my car with the key fob but it wouldnt do anything so I pressed the unlock button which worked.  I then pressed the lock button on the inside of the door ( the one near the window buttons ) which only locked the three doors except the drivers door so I closed the door and locked the drivers manually.  It was then that I noticed the drivers side puddle light was permanantly on!.   I then put the key in the lock and turned it and then only the drivers door opened.

God knows whats going on but I think it might be a fuse that has somthing to do with the c locking blown.  what do you guys think?

Alright
i think it's something to do with resetting the key code i came across it a few days ago on here,common problem apparently, do a search on here on how to reset.

Ahh!! I dont have two keys! 

And the key fob unlocks the car, well three of the doors anyway.

I dont think recoding your key has anything to do with it.  If your puddle light is on all the time I suspect that the microswitch that is part of the lock assembly is beefed.  What about the courtesy lights?  Are they on all the time too?

[Lee_dub]

yea they stay on too, but why does the switch on the inside only lock the other three doors then mate?

cos your dook lock module is knackered! hence why he referred to the mircoswitch; within the module they break down; you can repair it though its a tad fiddly!

[Lee_dub]

Ahh right lol  :embarassed:

So do I order a new door lock module or a micro switch or is it best left to the experts?

[Rhyso]

have a look here mate:

depends on confident you feel taking your door apart and how good you are with a soldering iron

Hmmm, thanks for the info matey but I think this is a job best left to the experts in my case.  So I need to get the door lock module replaced?  Thats going to cost me bout £70 plus 2 hours labour?
