Car Not Locking

I thought i would ask here first before going to an auto elec.

The other day i took my car to one of those do it yourself car washes just to get the bird crap off as i didn't have time to do a full wash at home.

When i got back home and went to use the button on my keys to turn on the imobliser and lock the doors the imobiliser went on, but the doors did not lock.

And now whenever i push the button I can hear the motors make a noise in the door but they do not lock.

The sound it now makes is different to what it used to be when it worked.

So anyone have any idea what may be wrong?

I picked my car up and my central locking worked, i got it home then it stopped working all together, would this still be a loose rod or would it be something else???

Sorry to hijack

If you can hear the actuators moving it's just 1 or 2 screws that need tightening so just rip off your panel and get a phillips head screwdriver( not too big ) and give them a turn and it should be ok champ :)

Sorry bout the late reply, its a late 94 r33, i doesnt make a sound, ive had the battery changed professionally in the remote in case it was a flat battery but to no avail. Need to get an alarm put in it very soon so ill get it all fixed then i think.

You might get away with just changing the actuators pull the door panel off then check the actuators, just lock yourself in the car, to see if they will lock. If they dont move check the wiring(try to check with a tester) it could just be the wiring,if not you might get away with buying at set of actuators. They usally come in sets of 4 but that way you will have 2 spare.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.

      Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on

      Just did this job on my 32 with the boost doc kit. was quite simple to fit, hardest part was getting the rubber bungs back on the firewall. does anyone know how the heater will work now without the flap in the bend? Will I just have a heater on 24/7 now?
