Hi guys,
I have a '97 R33 GTR and yesterday while I was at the servo, I went to get in my car to leave and to my surprise, I pressed the unlock button on my remote and the doors stayed locked. I used they key and both doors unlocked so I know the central locking still works, just doing it with the remote doesnt. So I sat there for about 10 minutes continuously locking and unlocking my car (probably looked like a right knob while it was beeping away) and figured that the remote actuator in the drivers door was still working as I could hear it moving. So today I took the door skin off and had a look to try and figure it out.
So heres what Ive got:
Heres the actuator when the door is locked:
And heres what happens when I unlock it with the remote:
As you can see, the cable is slipping inside its rubber housing as it has torn meaning that the cable isnt pushing the locking mechanism. If I hold the cable like so:
Then it works fine.
So basically Im thinking I just need to figure out how to reclamp the cable properly and it should all work sweet again.
Any thoughts guys would be much appreciated.
-Pete.
