Default AU door lock dramas

When I lock the drivers door on the AU wagon it actuates all the locks. However when the drivers side doors are locked and I lift the front passengers side external handle the door opens and I hear both passenger door locks cycle. Is it a dodgey actuator in the front passengers door?

Its an AU2. When I attempt to lock with the remote, drivers door doesn't lock. Rear doors lock and then horn sounds about three times to indicate car not locked. If I lock with the key drivers and both rear doors lock but passenger front can be opened by lifting external handle. When I lift this handle I can hear actuators cycle and then rear passengers door is also unlocked. It's probably got a dud actuator somewhere I would say in either or both front doors.

Your passenger front door actuator needs replacing. Without a doubt.

I agree with Scotty85. Use trial and error to see which one has gone.

Thanks UK,

The wagon changed hands yesterday so no more door lock troubles for me. I just read your write up on replacing the internal mirror on an AU. That is my next job on my XR6, so it will probably 2 beers I owe you.

Regards
Jono.
