Central Locking - Pump Stopped Working

[OllieL]

Just been out to my car and realised that the drivers door doesn't lock when the car is locked with the central locking - so i'm thinking that it could just be the pipe/ hose has become disconnected behind the door card???
Where do these hoses run etc in the doors, so I have some idea as to what I'm going to be looking at doing tomorrow

Cheers

Rite
On further inspection its actually my whole central locking that isnt working
Am I right in thinking the pump is in the rear offside quarter.
Has anyones pump ever packed in before?
Cheers

Yep it's in the corner. The damp got to a pump on my 6n. Took it apart and re-soldered and cleaned up all the joints, worked fine after that. Not sure if it's the same pump though?

Just got back to home and I'm taking the carpet out now - so will report back with what I find

Taken the pump and actuator out, completely dead when the locking is turned on and off

Have checked the fuse and thats all ok.
Am going to see if I can get a multimetre on it and see what I'm getting
edit - Am getting 0.4V change when pressing the lock/unlock button - is this my problem?

Gah, that's totally different to the Polo one. Multimeter is probably a good start - see if any voltage is going to the pump when you lock/unlock.

 

[OllieL]

Pump is actually inside that big foam thing, will get a picture -

That look familiar?

Ollie

 

[AlpineWhite]

Nope

 

[Fl@pper]

does to me

there's a thread somewhere with the wiring layout you could use to test it with

you should get 'some' action out of it as it's self pressure regulated

if it's short pump could be blocked up line somewhere but if it keeps going 30sec odd then there is a leak

 

[OllieL]

The pump does nothing at all - nothing!!!
Does that mean its just the pump thats juggered
- Did a search but found nothing

he never did let know which was lock/unlock

 

[OllieL]

Dad took the pump apart while I was upstairs having a kip and managed to fix it!!!
Said that there aer two prongs on a circuit board which need to make contact with the side of the pump. He bent these slightly to make sure contact was being made and voila!!

Love the easy fixes

How heavy is the pump, Ollie? And whats that bit of string for? Looks like abit of shoe lace got missplaced.

 

[OllieL]

Pump weights sweet FA mate, really flimsy plastic.
As for the string it fixed onto the fixing bracket at one end, and then the actuator pin at the other, pulling on the pump as it has its action.

[jenk]

Every little counts Ill leave it be, stared at it yesterday wondering how heavy it was.

[Fl@pper]
