GQ Maverick Electric door lock problem

The centeral locking is factory but I think the remote key control unit is aftermarket as the owners manual doesnt mention it.

..couple of things

..it may not be the remote, quite often all doors are slaved of the 'driver's door' solenoid, particularly if there was an aftermarket add on done.

Given age of vehicle the the driver door solenoid may be shot. They can test 'ok' with a meter, but actually need replacing. Last time I did my driver door (the third time) non factory replacement was only about $30.

..of course there is the battery in the remote, but I think u mentioned that already. Battery can have enough juice to, light the LED but not enough guts to properly oscillate the little transmitter.

I'd gingerly remove the door panel and also have a look and the solenoid mechanicals, and lock linkages, too.

Thanks I will replace the battery first and then if that fails I will check the solenoid.Where do you buy a after market solenoid?
I know some of the locks dont pop open properly (fullly) I think they may be dry and need of some lubrication.Yes old age can be a problem just like my knee and shoulder !

..pretty sure previous mob went OOB.

I'll check latest in the AM and post tomorrow.

Dick Smith have most of the tiny 'remote' batteries, ..there are at least a dozen different types.

....'aint it fun driving a 'Best Wreck'

..good news and bad news

..according to my "Best Wreck" maintainer, it pretty hard to get an individual solenoid these days.

He reckons 'Repco' and 'Strathfield Car Radios' have a big range of kits, but they only sell the solenoids in 4s.

LOL looks like I may need four.One for every season!

Thanks for that.When you say "disable the inside button" I assume you mean the one that locks down all the door locks except the driver door?
