welcome to the club Sunny:welcome: what kind of alarm do you have? my alarm has a synchronization function which sorted a similar problem i had.Sunny GTi said:Has anyone been able to fix the dodgy passenger door lock issue?
I have the same thing, but sometimes the passenger door wont lock on the keyfob, wont lock when i press the drivers side button and also try and push it in on the passenger side at the same time, and sometimes wont lock from the outside with the key!
I need some serious help cause I cant secure my car!
as JP said maybe its a faulty control unit...i hope:-DSunny GTi said:Reward waiting for whoever can end my door-locking misery! :hail:
Well i have a cobra too if you know who fitted it then id ask them to look at the Drivers door actuator for you may need adjustment but there is a switch somewhere in the standard system that should mean the Passengers door locks when the drivers snib/or key barrel is locked and as this happens it signals the passenger side to lock.Sunny GTi said:Hey Dooie, thanks for that :-D !
Its got the standard Cobra alarm and immobiliser. In a perfect world where Nissan Sunny's didnt break, i should be able to press the keyfob and both doors lock with the alarm turned on. In reality though I have to somehow lock the passenger's door seperately, either from inside over on the passenger door, or increasingly from outside with the key! Sometimes this will take a while, as with the key in the lock i have to turn it the wrong way, then the right way to lock it and hope that the lock catches and doesnt come back agin with the key! :noidea:
Like 'geetee' said earlier, when you press the drivers side passenger door lock button or actually try and press the thing on the passengers side, the lock doesnt seem to quite "get home".
Reward waiting for whoever can end my door-locking misery! :hail:
I dont believe there was alarms as standard especially not a cobra! Anyhow i would treat the passenger side solenoid as being suspect now does the key in the passenger lock move freely may just be lack off movement causing it to stick?Sunny GTi said:Your just saying that to get the reward Dooie!
Im pretty sure the alarm is the standard device from the factory.
When I lock/unlock my drivers door with the key, the passenger door does not do the same thing. When I 'snib' the drivers door from inside, it locks the drivers side but the passenger side trys to close, makes a silly noise and then flops back to open. On the drivers side door lock button on the panel, again the passenger snib tries to close but fails.
Do you think this is a problem with the control unit, a locking solenoid, or the rod that pushes the lock closed?
Mate of mine had a GTi and yes i was aware that you have one but he didnt have such a system in his :?Sunny GTi said:Yeah, the key in the passenger lock moves nice and easy. But when you put the key in, turn it anti-clock wise and then bring it back to centre, the lock will usually not have closed! I have to turn it right, then left and try to throw the lock closed, then try and remove the key without it unlocking the lock again!
With the alarm, I have an extra little key with the main key and the keyfob 'blipper'. The little key has nissan stamped into the rubber grib and its used for a box with a lock under the bonnet to disable the alarm and immobiliser when you take it to a garage! I have a Sunny GTi by the way, maybe this was standard on them and not an option on the GTiR's or something, but I have no idea!
