Central Locking Motors

[jo's MI16 0]

I was wondering if any body could tell me why my central lockin motors keep f***ing up on me it has now had 3 sets on with in a year and they are doing my head in. They will either work somedays and not the next. They have now started to scream(again) as it is locking and unlocking. The last lot it had on it burnt out. any ideas?

Cheers jo

Are you using new motors ? Pattern ones ? Cheap ones differ in quality, there very prone to water ingress, which quickly leads to the screaming you describe.

 

Check the rubber boots are on properly when you fit them.

Yeah, think theres a thread on here about it.

 

Ive got a gen on my pass side, and a non gen on dirver side. Which i had to change a while ago, as i must have knocked the boot off, soon died
