Drivers Door Lock

Question

So my Delta has decided to stop recognising that the drivers door is shut. It still closes and locks with the key but no remote locking and obviously throws a hissy fit driving it. I'm pretty sure it's a door-is-shut sensor/mocroswitch.

 

Anyone got any ideas on best place to source this or what I'll find when I open up the door panel; any tips greatly appreciated!

 

TIA

Reeko,always bear in mind that items such as your door/boot locks will be from the parts bin from Fiat, Alfa, etc.stores, so check out used parts from breakers, and cars such as Late Punto, 500,Bravo, MiTo, Guiletta...etc.

If it is like the boot lock, there is a micro switch built into the latch, so you may need a new lock......As I recall, I snagged a genuine Fiat part for a 2006 Punto for £19.00 .

Or it just may need a good clean....

Good luck.

Thanks for the advice. Turns out a half loose connection nd in need of a clean up on the connection was the issue! ??

Sorry I am coming to this late, but the connection block between the body and the door is notoriously susceptible to loosening and allowing water into it, twist to open and blow both sides with air and clean the electrics with a proprietary cleaner and secure the connection again
