Technical Sliding Door Fault- Not Locking

[coupedummy]

Hi Guys,

Just wondered if anyone could help.

I am working on a few repairs for my mother in laws Fiat Doblo. So far fixed the failing rear tail struts, broken passenger window switch but now the car wont lock.

I've narrowed it down the the pin on the sliding door not pushing the micro-switch in on the chassis side.

I've tried to look for a replacement unit but unable to find a part number?
Any help would be appreciated?

Thanks guys

So fixed/bodged...
I found the faq and added a small amount of plastic to the plastic arm. Got the doors to lock except that particular sliding door.
The electrical contacts where not meeting meaning no power to lock the door.

I then removed the contact side on the chassis and found the top white plug- is the microswitch for the lock for show the door is shut. I unplugged this and put back together, the doors all now lock perfectly. Easier than messing with a plastic shim and works fine.

Just the broken door handle to change now.

Well done on sorting it out.
