Falcon Door Lock Problem

Au falcon central locking actuator disassembled.

Falcon door lock problem.

The top half is the lock the bottom half is the actuator. Engine mounts splitting and power steering. Doors not locking when they should and concerned about being broken into. Other ways to break.

The teeth on either cog can strip off. This how to guide will show how to fix this issue on a range of ford falcon s au. There s a couple of places this module can fail. But beyond this falcon has one of the most extensive lines of products in the market with applications for a variety of security and safety needs.

In my particular unit the shaft of the cog snapped in half. The common ford diff bushes problem started with these cars and the hand brake mechanism is just stupid. The spare wheel hold down strap is a stupid design that nearly always gets lost. Almost every ba or bf falcon is missing the strap.

In saying this when i did a full interior change one of the bolts on the b pillar caught a wire for central locking and shorted it out therefore everytime i tried to lock it i had to remove the fuse from the fuse box to lock it. The only thing that i can think of is one of the door wires for central locking has been snagged. Moving forward commonly known for transmission faults.
