Whilst the drivers door card is off, I have removed the door loom socket from inside the door, so I could clean etc. the contact pins for the loom plug/socket.
There was some verdigree on one of the pins and the clear plastic "dome" on the back of the socket was cracked. I could see that water was entering the dome and causing problems with the wires.
I sprayed with wd40 type spray and taped up the cracks etc. to try and keep out any water.
Is been raining overnight and so far no door lock issues at all. Everything is working fine, dare I say better than ever before !!
I will be hard wiring in a new "plug and socket free" and " totally water proof" drivers door loom from behind the dash area right into the door "void" during the summer, as I have had enough of water electronics problems.
Water is still getting into the back of the estate, so must be coming in thru the window seal area, which is next to be re sealed.
I will also have to insert some new "holes" at the bottom of the inner door seal, so water leaking into the door seal, can easy drain out, rather than drain into the car rear passenger area.
