Thanks very much mate..this saved me a load of time and money..I went straight to the handle cleaned all connections and little release button worked perfectly..cheers👍👍👍

Thanks for the video. It helped me save a good bit of money by not putting it into a garage. Cheers.

Glad it helped. Seems a common problem on the Corsa and probably a lot of other cars.

Nice fix Rich, just a couple of note worthy things to keep in mind the locking/unlocking in a short space of time can cause the central locking to lockout for a time period, even my Cavalier does this and I have seen other car manufacturers do the same thing, I think it’s so it doesn’t flatten the battery if a micro switch or other component malfunctions. Like you said the inner boot skin will get condensation on it in cold weather. Nice video though mate well done.

Got the same symptoms on my Corsa D so will follow your guide to clean all the parts. I might also try to make a rubber seal to sit between the outside of the handle and the bodywork to try to prevent water ingress. Thanks for posting this.

Glad, it’s helpful. Many thanks.

how did you clean up that corrosion from the small clip? i can't seem to open it without breaking

[@trickyg9130]

I soaked it in wd40 and used a small draper pick tool. Sorry for not getting back sooner, hopefully you’ve sort it.

[@michaelflint4159]

Its piss simple. 2 screws,pull the plastic off. 2 more screws ,remove wire. Refit in reverse. 40 mins and im no mechanic

[@stephenthomas3476]

Where did you get replacement lock from

[@trickyg9130]

Hi. Just got one from a company off eBay, I’ve used them before for some other bits and pieces. Should be around £20/£25.
