Land Rover Repair: Range Rover Door Locks, range rover p38, door locks


Question
I have a 1998 Range Rover P38 and the front door locks do not work from the remote control.  The back doors work fine and all doors work if the key is used.

I had this problem about a year ago and a local garage replaced both door locks and the receiver unit - Is it a case of replacing the locks again or should I be looking at another fault?

Thanks

Steve

Answer
If the back door locks work fine that means you have a problem in the BECM - the $1,100 control under the passenger seat - or the individual door latches are bad ($225 each).

If possible you should seek out a shop with the Land Rover test system.  They can operate each of the four door locks individually and verify which part you need.

If I had to guess I'd go for the door latches but it could be either one.
