Hi, I am hoping someone may be able to help me out here? I'm having an issue with my drivers door not locking. The vehicle is a 205 STDT. The car battery is not fitted currently as the vehicle is still being reassembled after being painted. The drivers door, opens and closes from outside and inside without issue. The problem is when I try to lock it with the key or tey to depress the manual lock tab to lock it , it move fractionally and then wont go any further. I have had the door panel off for inspection to check that all rods and plastic connectors are indeed connected - as far as I can tell, they are. I have removed the barrel from the door, tested it with the key and it rotates smoothly with no hesitation. The pasenger side door operates as it should , opening and closing, locking and unlocking without issue using key and the manual depress and lift tab. Surely even without the battery connected, in the absence of any power, the manual act of trying to depress the lock should still work? Similarly, I would assume that even with the battery removed the lock should still be able to be operated by the key? Otherwise what would happen when you have a flat battery? I suspect that the door lock actuator may be goosed but dont even know how to get a good visual of that inside the door cavity. Does anyone have a photo of the actuator by any chance? Or, if this is an issue you have encountered before and feel you can shed some light on the issue, please dont hesitate to drop me a line on this thread. I've seen a few threads that talk of sticking mechanisms but not this issue of being unable to lock manually. So, if it is indeed the door lock actuator, where can I buy a replacement and are they all generic across the 205 range of that 1994 era? I have stumbled upon a webpage that may have them. However, I am not at all sure if it is the right component for my car, as I cant actually see the one currently fitted to my car.

Hi guys, Can anyone remind me whether my central locking should unlock as well as lock the passenger door when I use my key or operate the drivers side plunger please? I've finally got around to fitting one of Maplin's universal two wire actuators to the passenger door after having to run around the car for about 10 years but although it locks with the drivers side it doesn't unlock it. My wife seems to think it used to do this rather than her having to wait for me to unlock her door from the inside but I just cannot remember how it used to work. It's a standard but probably not factory fitted early 5 wire drivers side and 2 wire passenger side and boot set up however the boot actuator is currently off the car as it decided that it didn't want to work yesterday when I re-fitted it. In the longer term I'm looking to hook the central locking into my newly fitted Toad Ai606 using a second motor in the drivers side but at the moment there is no remote functionality or anything - just three motors and the wiring. Any help appreciated Ian.
