Problems with cargo door lock.

[kempy]

Hi, I'm having problems with the sliding door lock.
When i bought the van i was informed that it only locked from the inside but never got round to checking.

Having never owned a bay before not 100% how it locks from the inside and don't want to force it. Does the switch inside go up or down, and can you feel it going into a locking position.

From the outside the key only turns about half. I don't want to force as its the only key and fits all doors so don't want to snap.

I don't want to strip down at this point as it may be me being thick.
Great to hear from someone.

Theres nothing definate about that internal switch at all youll think its not even working!! (at least its the case with mine)

With regards the turning of the key I cant remember I havent seen my van for the best part of a year (bloody sprayers)....

Anyone know what part needs replacing if it's knackered.

Just remembered if you lock an early bay from the inside it wont (shouldnt if its an un modded OG lock) unlock from the outside so if you unlock it from the inside shut it and try locking it with the key then unlocking again.....
