I'm little confused how this all should work. Let me say that I did mess with central locking. I will try to document timeline of events:
1. Seems like all was working OK (I didn't check passenger door though, so not sure) except that rear left door was "sticking" when opening. So it wouldn't open from key every time, but it would close every time.
2. I did research (and even posted here somewhere) on how to rebuild actuators.
3. Since those motors (inside actuators) real cheap I was like what the heck, I will do all of them.
4. I replaced all of them and after this - central locking wouldn't work, doors would randomly click/clack when key operated, nothing would work and re-sync procedure wouldn't help.
5. I got 2 used rear locks and 2 new front actuators from ebay and replaced all.
6. All door micro-switches work (when any door opened - lights ON)
This is where I'm at now....
When I lock driver door - I hear some multiple click-clock and all doors locked - GOOD. But why so much noise?
When I unlock driver door - all doors except front passenger(FR) unlocked and there is no click-clock sound, it's just works as it should except for FR door.
When I get in a car and try to pull button to on FR door - it doesn't work, but opening by pulling handle - works.
So, it almost seems like something inside a FR lock broken, not actuator but mechanical. However, I'm not sure how to proceed with diagnostics..
