Hey all,

I've got a '96 1.4 XR which I love dearly.
An amazingally unprofessional electrician installed a Clifford XL500
alarm system in the car about 9 years ago, gravely harming it. After
surviving this attack from the electrician, the car lived rather
happily and the alarm system worked fine (after fixing a battery
drainage problem): the fob locked and unlocked the car doors using its
central locking system. Oddly, the driver door lock did not engage door
central locking - only the passenger side door. Since I've only used
the fob, I did not care.

Up until a year ago, the car was a hot and dry climate - no rain. I've
had to move and now the car is in a wetter climate - I've had water
leak in through the door. I've had to dismantle the door trim to
discover the missing door membranes removed by the horrible
electrician, and left the door trim unfastened for a week or so -
during which it hardly rained. I bought polyethylene sheets (because a
Peugeot door membrane kit is impossible get) and duct tape and decided
to fix the problem myself.

Just before I started working on the membranes (never even got to
taking off the unfastened door trim), I've noticed that the door
central locking is malfunctioning. Oddly, it now only locks the car -
unlocking the car cannot be done with the fob, only with the key. The
car has experienced a year of rains so I doubt this has anything to do
with it but I'm not sure.

I'm suspecting the passenger side servo is malfunctioning and not
triggering the unlocking in the entire car - I'm hearing a tick during
locking but not during unlocking. Not sure about this - will double
check tomorrow.

Anyhow have any idea what the problem might be?

Thanks,

Alon
