Door release noise???
Discussion
Have a look at the door solenoid (pull the carpet back from the door pillar behind the seat). Mine was doing this and I found the solenoid casing was opening up and the gear wheels inside not engaging properly. A couple of cable ties fixed it. Probably not this if both doors are doing it though.
Yes that's the solenoid (there are 2 of them (one locks/unlocks the other opens)) be interested to hear what happens because mine does the same,
If you disconect the locking solenoid on mine all is quiet again (can't lock the car though) been meaning to get around to changing it to see it it makes a difference
Let us know how you get on

ATG said:Mad isn't it, you can easily see how it works by lifting the velcro flap. The old model (with the push catch) needed a lock so I guess they just added a release soleniod rather than redesigning the 'lectrics
Ben ... how does the lock solenoid do its job? I wonder why they didn't make a "lock" by just electrically disabling the door-opening-solenoid rather than having a second lock mechanism?
