VW T5 Central Locking Motor, Simple Cheap fix!!

[@wozzatherockdog1778]

I’ve had this problem in my T5 for at least 10 years and disassembled the door about 5 times trying to resolve it. It also wouldn’t recognise the door open too. Your video prompted me to have another go. I resoldered the circuit board. Sprayed electrical Clean & Lube in the motor while spinning it in a cordless drill. Also lubricated the internal mechanism. Success! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

That's great you got sorted 10/10 for perseverance

Ese tiempo dedicado no solo para reparar la cerradura, sino que realizar un video para que muchos podamos hacer lo mismo, es digno de agradecimiento.

I had the same problem on my t5. Cleaning brought back to life for a few months. Ended up with new lock from ebay for about £25. Worked perfect. Not worth wasting time repairing then in and out again. Would just replace if same happened

I'll always try and fix it first it's a character flaw, I like pulling things apart
