central locking problems now with loose brown wire purple st

[jonny323i]

please i need help urgently i got home today and locked the doors on my touring and something didnt seem right so i tried to unlock it again and found that the car is now deadlocked and wont lock or unlock the drivers door.
So to be clear:
drivers door wont do anything will only lock with the button from the inside
passenger and rear doors are deadlocked
boot/hatch will open with the key but wont lock or unlock the central locking.

I have tried a central locking relay from another car and there is no change!
I have tested the micro switch on continuity and that seems to work too and thats where my patience ran out!

You've been on here since 2005, have made 2821 posts, and have never come across "red/black wire mod." in relation to central locking problems?

[jonny323i]

1hrs job Johnny

[jonny323i]

wish id known that 3 hrs ago so whats the crack

[Rav335uk]

Remove battery earth lead.

Remove the driver's side kick panel/speaker cover.(one screw)

Remove the speaker(three more screws)

Reach into the hole and pull the hank of harness going to the A pillar socket into view(try not to pull the socket out if possible)

Locate and cut the red/black wires,saloons have two,cabbies have three.

Solder and heat-shrink the harness ends together,insulate the ends going to the socket.

Replace speaker and cover.

Re-connect battery.

so the wires im lookin for have both black and red on the same wire and there will be two that i have to join together isolating them from the door loom

[Rav335uk]

No, the wires have to be RED/BLACK ones mate.
Red wire with a Black stripe.
Cut the 2 of them, twist them and tape them up first, then check the C/L, if all is good, solder and heat shrink them together

[jonny323i]

cool i will do that tomorrow fingers crossed thats all thats wrong with it

[jonny323i]

thats guys that did the trick but in the process i dislodged a wire which looks like it came from the back of the white socket its a brown wire with a purple stripe. Its wrapped up further down the loom with about 2 or 3 other wires inc the red/black wire that has been modded.
Has anyone any idea where it goes cheers

If the brown/purple has a male spade connector on it, then it's only used when an interior light delay unit is fitted. It's part of the provisions for rewiring the door switch circuitry to suit the delay unit.

i really dont know what it had on the end as what ever it was attached too has come off and left bare wire.
It doesnt seem to have affected any operations so i have just insulated the end waiting till i could post it here.
On one corner of the white block in the door pillar there are about 3 wires in close proximaty to each other and are taped together as they go down the loom inc the red/black wire this brown/purple wire if bundled with them so if that is what you think it is then i can leave it alone?
