charlie75 Member 4 Member For: 19y 9m 9d Posted 10/05/07 05:30 AM Share Posted 10/05/07 05:30 AM I had my 2004 XR6T looked at yesterday by RACWA prior to the warranty running out. Found a few minor things but one BIG thing you will all be interested in.The left hand side rear door intermiitently (and increasing in occurrence) does not lock. All other doors lock but not the LHR. When opened it unlocks all the other doors as well.RAC bloke said he has seen this quite often on these vehicles.Bit scary when you leave it and think it's safe.We actually noticed the reverse happening (would not UNlock with the others) and he showed us the not locking issue as well.Check your LHR doors Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/34833-door-locking-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been a problem since EF. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/34833-door-locking-problem/#findComment-530695 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostbro Member 9 Member For: 18y 9d Posted 20/06/07 10:45 AM Share Posted 20/06/07 10:45 AM My old AU. I had to replace, the RHR door lock mechanism/solenoid, And buy the jumper wire from a BA to fit it.Now since I own my BA the LHR door lock has gone and needs replacing, It pisses me off Ford cannot get a solution to the problem, you have to buy a complete lock assembly and they are not cheap around $150 I have been quoted so far.It is scary I found out by accident that the lock does not work I suggest to others to check your cars as well, as that door unlocks every door.

illusionzzz Member 180 Member For: 19y 4m 7d Posted 20/06/07 12:58 PM Share Posted 20/06/07 12:58 PM Yeah one of mine did it too! Same with my mates.... Shonky solenoids. Both fixed now, no thanks to Ford, being out of warranty and all... Known faults like these should be covered for the first five years... I.e anything they put a TSB out on.
