C5 Automatic Door Locks
My C5 is a 2002 with 18k miles. This year I noticed the door locks don't always lock or unlock. There doesn't seem to be any pattern that I can see. With the remote or door lock button, sometimes both doors lock and sometimes only the driver side will lock. Same on the unlock. I'm reluctant to remove the door panels (mostly because I'm not sure how to do it correctly without breaking something) to see if there's a bad connection or a lubrication issue. The car has never been in for service since new except for normal things like oil changes, etc. Does anyone have any magic solution or recommendation to this problem?
