Barchetta Central Locking Fix

The central locking on my mates Barchetta was throwing a wobbly.  The key would lock both sides from the passenger door but only the drivers door from the drivers side.

That sounded like a switch problem to me so I popped the central locking units out and tested them with a meter.  Sure enough the driver’s side was switching in one direction but not the other.

I stripped the unit down and found the offending microswitch.  It turned out to be a standard item available for a couple of quid from maplins.  So one switch and a soldering iron later and the central locking was as good as new.
