Hi all,

Not sure if this is the correct section or not, but it seems most applicable.

Further to the issues I had recently with the car not starting and the AC failing, I have noticed today another issue - sigh.

The Soft Close is only working on the passenger door - the drivers door won't pull in so has to be given a harder pull to close, and the boot won't pull down on the soft close to final resting place. The catch does engage so it doesn't come open, but the soft close element doesn't bring it in that last half centimetre or so to the correct resting place.

I am guessing that the system is "working" as the passenger door is good, but I don't know where to go to start looking at the drivers door and boot issues.

Can someone point me in the initial right direction?

Thanks in advance.

PS Oh, and the AC issue I seem to have found a way to replicate the issue - leave the car in the hot sun all day! It's booked in to have the Blower Regulator replaced as that is the most likely culprit for this based on what I have found and talking with the place I now take it to.
 
Pulled fuse 9 in the boot earlier and it's reset the soft-close system.

For now doors and boot are working properly again.

Will see how long it stays active for...

It stayed active for about 5 closes :(

Another one for the list.
