Hey everyone,

Got a quick question....and yes i searched for ages....when i operate the driver's window, up or down; the passenger door always locks itself. Im thinking this may be normal, and its always done it, but its a freaking pain in the ass!

Is there any way of making it not do this? Like cutting a certain wire or something like that...

In R32 btw....

And no i dont want to disable the central locking all together either.

Any help would be great,

Cheers.

Mat.

As far as I know, this shouldn't happen man. You might have a short in the wiring or in the control panel. Check that out first, and failing that, maybe contact an alarm installer if you have an alarm, and get them to sus it out?

Nar havent got an alarm but will soon. Thanks.

Anyone know anything else more specific?

Could it be my door lock timer?

The car has done it ever since its been going...wiggling around wires and connections has no effect either.

my car does that sometimes to. only started after the mongoose alarm was installed...

Tried to figure out when it happened if i:

put the window up

put the window down

auto up

auto down

was all intermittent... still dont know why it does it.

What do you mean by drivers door unit? Is this the small black box located inside the door near where the armrest is?

no. that is the auto up for the windows. the one I'm talking about is the window switch itself. the lock unit is in it.

no. that is the auto up for the windows. the one I'm talking about is the window switch itself. the lock unit is in it.

So maybe try another window switch assembly? Might swap it with a mates and see what happens. Thanks mate.

Mine does that too.

When u auto drivers door down it lock the passenger door when all the way down. Its fkn annoying.

HAHA i wish! even if i move the window up or down just a little bit eg not auto, it still does it!

mine does it too. Only started doing it recently though... I think its an earthing issue. Then again, my power window switch is on the fritz too, almost like the contacts have worn off... so I can't say for sure.

Unfortunately my alarm runs an actuator on the driver door too, so it locks both doors. Seems to be a problem only on R32's.

i have this feature lol

but its not really that bad, there is a passenger door unlock button next to your window controls - atelast on 33's

mine would randomly do it once up to speed, and EVERYTIME i put the rear demister on :thumbsup:

Do a search for a thread by cubes, pretty sure he wrote up a DIY mod to stop it.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
