Alarm Drama.

[Cthehentz]

I have a 2011 LR4 that all of a sudden the driver door will not lock but all others do and if you open the driver door a two tone alarm goes off, I found a spring on the driver floor board and wanted to know if anyone has a clue to where this may belong?

Well it would seem I am the only person to have this issue, the driver side door latch actuator has failed and parts are on order. As for the spring, who the hell knows....

That spring would drive me crazy until I figured it out.

I'm currently being driven crazy by two small black plastic wire clips that I found on the floor of the garage after changing my spark plugs. Damned if I can figure out where the things go.

I got the R4 back today, it was the driver side latch that had failed. $400 and half a days labor but that also included an oil change.

Spring? Could be related to the underside of the seat.

Good question, I did a quick look under the dash and seat but still no smoking gun.

Do the spring hooks have any wear?

Do the spring hooks have any wear?

None, in fact it is rather sharp even around the coils. Honestly it appears to be a low use type spring or see's very little action.

I then suspect if it is from the vehicle at all.

I've looked under my drivers seat and couldn't find a springs to speak of...
