3200gt Locking the car???

[Mazdarati]

Hi Guys,

Have a little problem when i clicked a lock button on my key, the car locked the doors and immideately opened, so i cant locked the car , i need to lock the car only using the key(insert in to the door and locked it).
Tried open and closed trunk , left door , right door, nothing helps. Then turn off battery , turn on and 2 days was ok , today again this happened .

Any clues?

Thanks

Try some light oil in the locks and lots of locking and unlocking with the key.
Ensure all the interior lights are going off when you get inside and close the doors (as the locking ECU recognises if a door is open buy the plunger switches in the locks).

Thanks, WD40 oil ok to use ?
Also should i use oil in trunk lock (key lock)?

Yes, WD40 will be fine on all of the locks

Other thing it would be is the solenoid in the lock failing. Normally you'll be able to lock the car with the key in one door, but not the other.
It's the one that you *can* lock it with that has the failing solenoid.

Yeah i tried to lock the door and its immediately opened and drivers door ok , locked the whole car, but passenger lock and immediately unlock ! As you said.
How to fix it ?

You need to replace the lock unit in the driver's door. it's not particularly hard or expensive, but it's a bit fiddly.

Part number 67294800
About 50 Euro.

This part number will be ok for 3200gt?
Cause i saw its for 4200, i checked the number for 3200gt is 82487456.

So the broken lock is in the door which locked the whole car ?

Part No. 67294800
Superceded From Part No. 82487456

*Usually* the broken lock is the one that locked the car, yes.
