Why does the Wuling Hongguang S1 door lock keep jumping repeatedly?
2 Answers
Wuling Hongguang S1 door lock repeatedly jumping is caused by a central locking control circuit issue. Below are relevant introductions about car door locks: 1. Electronic door lock: Refers to using programmable memory and data reading devices, making the key difficult to duplicate. The key contains a 3.5×3.5mm dedicated electronic chip storing a specific password. When the key is inserted into the lock, the password is sent to the lock's memory while generating a magnetic field, which induces voltage in the coil on the chip to serve as the unlocking power source. If the key's password matches the lock, it will open. 2. Mechanical door lock: The six-digit password system offers over 3.25 million possible combinations that the owner can change at will, providing extremely high security. Optional password groups are arranged consecutively, making it convenient to choose easy-to-remember passwords. Currently developed basic models allow redesigning password digits and quantity based on user needs.
I think the issue of the door lock repeatedly jumping is quite common on the Wuling Hongguang S1, mainly due to electrical or mechanical components. Aging or short-circuited wiring can cause unstable current, leading to the door lock constantly jumping. Sometimes, a worn-out door lock motor or a misaligned control module signal can also cause this. This car is economical and practical, but its electronic system is relatively simple, making it more prone to malfunctions in humid or vibrating environments. From my experience, first check the fuse box for any blown fuses and replace them to see if it helps. If the issue persists, disconnect the negative battery terminal for a few minutes to reset the system. Weak battery power in the remote key can also trigger similar problems, so try replacing the battery. However, if the problem continues, it’s likely necessary to visit a professional shop to inspect the relay or wiring—don’t attempt to fix it yourself to avoid damaging more components. Regular maintenance of the door lock area, including cleaning dust and applying lubricant, can help prevent such issues.
