Switching child locks off

[shezza]

Hi all, I have had my Mondeo just over a week now and for the first time yesterday I had someone travelling in the back but they could not open the door from the inside. Now I have owned cars for over 40 years and I have always been able to switch the child locks off with no problems. But this Mondeo has got me baffled!!! It has a small recessed slotted plastic screw type thing (for the want of a better word) on the side of the door below the lock and I have put a screwdriver in this and tried to turn it but it will not turn. Any ideas please.

I think it's meant to slide up and down not turn?

Cant slide up and down because it's round in a round hole,

Have just found it's the same switch that locks the rear windows!! So easy to put this in the manual so why not do it.

It is the switch on the drivers door that controls the child locks, as stated its the same switch that disable the rear elec window. It's located on the switches around the electric mirror controls, when you press it you will hear a clunk.
