so i attempted to install the new door cards this weekend and all went well besides my plan for the central locking switch that didnt work. i tired to wire the switch into the same cable that the micro switch uses as if you bridge certain contacts on the plug it opens and closes the locks.it worked fine aslong as the micro switch isnt plugged in. any ideas how i can get it to work?

i also managed to fix all the micro switches that didn't work. i dont know about the other FL models but my PF locks i can bend the one lock lever and remove the micro switch. i then placed a flat screw driver below the lever and bent the lever outwards a bit more.placed it all together and bend the lock lever back all working.seems like the micro switch isn't a open/closed switch it needs to be tapped by the plastic lever then release and the problem is that if the plastic lever doesn't spring back it keeps the switch depressed.

the lock still in the car

which metal lever to bend to remove the micro switch

front door micr switch before being bent


the micro switch from the rear door after bending the plastic lever upwards

here is the new door cards installed with micro switch now working
