Central Locking

Hi,

My drivers door central locking button is broken, it's in a sort of stuck in the middle position as you can hopefully see in this picture..

The central locking system is working fine, I just can't use this button which is a bit annoying.

When it was at Ford's for its last service I mentioned it and they suggested that it was probably a "broken rod" and would need a 2 hour job to fix plus parts as it means stripping the door down.

I've started to get bits together to retrofit powerfold mirrors, so I'm thinking I might try and fix this issue while I've got the door cards off.

Does anyone know what a door rod is? What it looks like? Part number etc? Is it likely to be difficult?

Basically I don't have a clue what's going on here so if you can offer any help it would be appreciated!

Thanks

    Well if you guys don't know then there's no hope for me!

    I'll just have to get Ford to do it.

    Thanks anyway

    Price displayed is in Euros.

    Take the Finis code to Ford and they will order the part for you.
