After market Central Locking in D22

[mnbarradeen]

Hi Guys,

Mechanical noob here. Ive got a 2010 D22 with central key locking on the drivers door that unlocks all the others. My dad (who is very handy on cars) and i fitted an after market Central Locking fob kit (SCA 4 Actuator Kit from Supercheap), just using the master actuator on the drivers side door. Install was pretty straight forward (powered directly from the battery) but there is a weird problem. It works perfectly, but only when the drivers door is open and 'tricked' into thinking its locked (eg door lock latch clicked all the way over so the door does not actually close). So when we then unlock it or pull the handle to release the latch, it no longer works. Very weird. Any suggestions?

Does it sense the position of the actuator to decide whether the car is locked or not? If so, that might be in backwards? It might be worth going over the installation diagrams again to make sure it's installed the right way around.
