Door Solenoids

I recently replaced the boot solenoid with one from Amazon. Motoclan list the same one for boot and doors, but haven't looked at the door ones - so can't confirm.

Works ok on the boot though.

Exact same size as the original. Mounting holes in the same place. I noticed that a lot of after market solenoids are 4 wire type, but the boot one was 2 wire and this replacement is 2 wire. Makes it easier by eliminating which wires not to use.

Possibly have a look at the door ones before ordering, but 2 for £9.69 on Amazon - must be worth a punt.

I have used these:

Which have been an exact replacement and have worked well for a long time after installation.

I did have one fail to retract enough by itself to work properly in the passenger door, so I put it aside and then eventually used it in the boot, where it works great.

I had another that upon installation would not work, was drawing too much current and kept blowing a fuse.

I bought 5 in total (thinking I’d have a lifetime supply) and I now have one good one left. But all 3 have been functioning very well.

I have two of the ones that Gordon provided a link to on order.

I have access to a set of ramps to lift the car slightly and get the rear wheels off and underneath to remove the rear seats.

All set to be done on Monday, will replace the ice sensor at the same time, I am fed up of the red light sining at me all the time.
