The big black plastic part at the back in the first picture with all the rods connected to it :).

which part of my pic is the solenoid?

I'd put it down to a dodgy solonoid then mate. Just check that the door pin and lock rods are both connected to thte solonoid first though :)

BTW that blue and brown wire is for the tweeters :thumbs:

oh yeh when i push/pull the driver side doorpin the central lockin doesnt work

Mines wont go down on the passenger side at all now! Neither will the window & when it jams the central locking pops on mine! But mines works from my toad so I cant be arsed fixing it! :lol:

i had a similar thing m8 and as with corsa1zero the dodgy bar had sliped off so maybe this is a common thing. I got vaux to fix it.

had a look earlier
dont know whats wrong or to look out for
this is driver side door

If it helps ive got two central locking solenoids i'm willing to sell - come complete with door locking mechanism and the lock-rods things that appear at the top of the door.

Got both sides, mint contidition.

cheers wil have a gander 2mro

the bar is on both doors, they run from the solenoid to the door pin rod.

move it up and down and see it theres any play, stiffness in each one.

wd40 both and open close doors about 20 times.

get a volt tester on the stray wire you said you found and then see if theres a spare one on the other door?

it may just be a earth or something worked loose.

im off to bed now so good luck.

standard jobbies
ok talkin about the driver side

so look on the left side of my driver door

they after markets or corsa standard?

after markets are huge. normally green and have a hunge bar running to the door lock.

standard jobbies are a lil smaller i think and have a bar going to the lock. follow the bar from the lock to find the solenoid.

the wires.... well.... good luck there i aint a clue. new ones from vaux... about 30-40 i think.

kinda
these hard to remove?
mite pop to the scrappies
or mucho my lookin at for new one?
right inside the door can see the wires n shit but i dunno what to look out for well what the solenoid looks like

wd40.
try that if not then you need a new solenoid as that ones up the duff.

if it cant get the power to pull down it wont and the other cant pull down because it would throw sync out.

it will push however because its easy for it to do then pull down.

if you get my drift.

had a look other day but cant see anything wrong
driver side stuff r stil off tho
its driver side doorpin doesnt go all the way up

take the door cards off and have a look at the rods that lock/unlock the doors.
earth wires okay?
solinoids work okay?

mine went up the buggery last week, turned out it was a dodgy rod that slipped off.

ok
to open me car i gotta use my key
it opens the driver side ONLY
when my toad alarm anti hijackin thing comes on nothin happens but when i switch ignition off
as usual all locks unlock
to lock i gotta turn key all way to deadlock to lock both sides

took it back to place got alarm fitted they sed its the central lockin

when i try to lock car with keyfob nothin happens but alarm stil works tho

Havent fitted them, but can imagine it to be a right apin in the ass to re-fit the solonoids.

Is it the solonoids, or the Central locking "brain"?

they hard to take out?
i gotta open my car with key now coz doesnt work with alarm keyfob
but alarm stil works tho
