I had the same problem, none of the doors would lock on door switch or by remote, also the display didn’t show door open or closed.
Ordered the door lock actuator and the fun began.
Removed door card, unclipped the windows and door wiring switch after popping that out, door panel(card) away...
My son has recently picked up a Ford Transit Custom for work (self employed gas engineer/plumber) and the "retro fitted security" is amazing
extra dead locks top and bottom on all doors
plates over all weak points
camera inside and out linked to motion detectors and monitored.

Hi I have the exact same issue but I cant seem to get the black part of the lock (in front of this frominside the van? After taking out the 3 Torx bolts the unit wobbles around but it appears that something else preventing it from coming out maybe the key lock barrel. Found the spring in the...
I drove for a short while, turned left and right full lock, and everything was reset. I had to update the time on the radio.
I ran my cables through frominside the van to the scuttle without removing the battery, but it would have been a bit easier to take it out.
It should lock all doors from the perspective of anyone on the outside, but still allow those on the inside to exit the van... plus it doesn't set the alarm.
Sounds similar to what many insurers are saying about motorcycles… if your insurance says it’s kept in a garage and you take the bike out, park it on the street (to wash it or because you forgot something and popped back inside) theft is not covered if it’s taken from outside your house.
Odd...
Luckily I had a mate over and put him to work!
I first aligned it as far to the right as I could, without the tyre protruding the edge of the van - using the top tailgate lip to slide along (for those of you who haven't fitted one of these already).
Then, after drilling one pilot hole from the...
I'm not sure if it can happen but tbh I'd rather be safe than be locked out van, hundreds of miles away from home. I know if you unlock only the tailgate and then shut it with the key inside it locks itself.
I think they lock themselves if you unlock and then don't open a door, right?
Yeah...
I also used some trim on the lip of the carrier, so there's no metal-on-metal.
It's the kind of trim that's often put on sharp edges of bodywork where cables need to run.
Good afternoon all,
I am posting this issue to try and get some clarity on the next steps with my tailgate and central locking.
Concerning a 2018 T6 Panel van in the throws of a conversion, For the past 4-6 months, the central locking has not been working, and the tailgate electronic switch...
This is exactly why I'm updating the post, once settled I can look at if we can start a sticky thread with it.
Part of the challenge with this is I think we can only ever cover factory behaviour. Both the T6 and T6.1 have a myriad number of options and combinations that can be set, not all...
Before Christmas I sold my trusty T5 t32 LWB camper (2005) after owning it for 15 years and have replaced it with a T6 T32 4motion (with diff lock) LWB Kombi (2018). I wanted to go Swamper this time around rather than another lowered van. It is a very highly spec'd van, full service history...
Pulling out of our drive the other day (requires full lock on the steering) I heard a horrible 'gronching' sound. Well, that's yet another noise from my suspension/steering I thought (see here for previous and ongoing issues: Clunk clunk clunk).
Upon taking a look underneath I found that the...
I've had a T6.1 for a couple of years and the tailgate has always closed fine. A few weeks back it stated misbehaving. This is not a "soft close" or electric tailgate - just the old fashioned slam it down type!
When I close it now, it kind of bounces back slightly and doesn't close tight. When...
I can recommend Bilt Hamber wax. I treated one of my cars using two of their products - one was a cavity wax for inside box sections and the other a surface treatment.
I’m not near the sea, living in land locked Leicestershire, but wanted maximum protection from road salt.
I plan to do the van...
These come in at around £270 (inc delivery) when bought new from CSI Parts. I'm looking for £120 for the pair (plus delivery cost or can arrange collection meet up in Ayrshire, Scotland).
These are really robust and you can leave the window open with the vent while the van is locked without...
I have just done the tailgate conversion, I have got the new lights working but still need to wire up the tailgate locks and number plate lights. The van locks fine from the outside but not from the inside. I assume it's because the tailgate is not connected. Has anyone had this and if so found...
