C-locking micro switch?

Hello,

My central locking stopped working over the weekend, camping and parking in a field.

I had noticed that when the car is deadlocked, ie the slot is horizontal OS lock, the deadlocking is removed as the key enters rather than when the key is turn to the vertical position.

I thought the fuse may have blown, but it was fine.

I checked today and the central locking is working again.

Is this a micro switch, 61311375137, curling its toes up?

cheers for suggestions/ previous experiences.

Also if the dead locks are engaged and the microswitchs fail in the dead positions is it then impossible to open?

On that thought i am un-deadlocking it.

Take your door card off and see if the securing clip for the micro switch has come off ?

The switch is very easy to test with a multi-meter,theres a plug for it in the door that you can pull apart.
