Hi all Matrafans, I'm experiencing some problems with my 1998 Espace (2.0 8v). The central locking system doesn't lock the front right side (passenger) door, regardless if I use the remote, the key or the button in the roof
I managed to get it to lock once by pressing the roof button repeatedly. It then made a long and buzzing sound as if the lock was hard to "turn". This was right after I bought the car, and I haven't been able to make it work since (six days later).
Now, naturally, I made the conclusion that the lock needed some cleaning and greasing. I there for started to dismantle the door panel. But after having removed all the bolts and "unhinged" the panel from the door, I still couldn't make the frame around the "opening lever" come loose, this is usually the way it's done, but maybe the Espace is disassembled another way?? I ended up reattaching the panel, and having a number of new scratch marks on the it
.
So, if anyone no the exact way to remove the panel, or has an idea of anything else that might cause the problem that doesn't require access to the door, I would be very gratefull
