I wonder if anyone can help me please? My Father ownes a 1995 Ford Escort which
has developed a fault with the central locking. It is impossible to get into
any of the doors except the boot(Trunk). I did manage to open the door from
inside , but this sent the cental locking into a frenzy of locking and
unlocking.
Is this a known problem?
Thanks

hiya,

sounds like the switch has fallen off one of the front door locks, suspect
the drivers door first.
you should still be able to get into the car using the key tho', or does it
just lock again straight away?

We have sorted the problem out now thanks. There is a small spring that pulls
the lock lever down and activates a small micro switch , that must tell the
central locking system if the door is closed or not.
The spring had snaped at the end so i reformed it and put it back in place.
All is now well ;-)
Thanks for your input.
