    Default Auto close only working from passenger's side?

    Howzit Guys.

    I've just noticed: The auto close for windows and sun roof. When you hold the key in the lock postition, only works from the passenger's side of the car. And I can only dead lock the car from pass side as well. I can't dead lock car from driver's side and I can't close the windows and roof from driver's side either. Only lock and unlock.
    Could anyone help on this please. I have no idea what it could be.

    Many thanks all!

    Since every thing works fine fromthe passenger side, then the problem nust lay in the driver door or it wiring. Start with the drivers door lock switch

    Rob there have been many dicusions on this.As Josh says it is likely that your drivers door wiring or switch or latch is faulty.Do a search on locking,auto close,deadlocking...or look at Javiers profile and do a search on his posts,he ussually responds to these questions.
