Central Locking Question!

  1. #1
    Hey Guys I'm new here so sorry if this question seems dumb (I'm not the greatest with cars).

    Just bought a Saxo Desire 2001 5 door as a 2nd car run around for me to get to work. Seems a £450 bargain!

    Central locking using the key worked fine until this morning (fob is broken) when the front passenger door stopped working properly. It will not open when i turn the key in the drivers door (all other doors are fine). It will manually lift up from inside when i pull it and it will open on its on with the key in the passenger side lock. When i lock the car from the drivers' door it will lock all doors still inc the front passenger one. It just wont open.

    Any one know what the problem is likely to be?

    Appreciate any replies many thanks guys.

    probably a dead solenoid. You should be able to change that easily-ish after having removed the door card. The car being old, be prepared to have a few broken clips in the process, otherwise it should cost about 12 pence and a half to repair.

    Thanks for quick reply how much would a solenoid cost do you know and where would be best to buy one from?
