But finding and breaking in to the right wire is not easy, and the measurement time is very short. A current measurement to the motors would do it, jamming would give high current, bad wiring low current. I am struggling a bit to come up with a way to separate these two: jamming or bad wiring.

Pic attached is a wire (not in a car) I found to be like that. Once water gets into stranded wires, especially where they flex like at a door hinge, it can eat through the copper, and make them high resistance or intermittent open circuit. The other possibility, if it is not a connector, is rotting wiring. That message sounds like it is a current measurement error, but either too much or too little. It is a great pity these DTCs are not more specific, it often seems like the programmer picks one almost at random from the wide lists available. I think if the lock jammed mid-travel, the module would see the stalled motor draw excess current, which could raise the " locking motor / circuit short to battery or open " error messages. I have just re-read the thread, and some sort of mechanical jamming of the locking mechanism seems possible. Ok, that sounds like a decent test for the electronic module.
#FORD GALAXY DOOR PANEL REMOVAL DRIVERS#
The drivers door works fine and the passenger door still doesn't. I forgot to mention i swapped both the drivers and passenger door modules over and it's exactly the same. I'm thinking either the door control module, or the motor for the locking mechanism is playing up? I took all the door apart and WD40'd all the connectors i could see, including inside the mirror housing under the cover. Also when the anti-hijack locks the doors, it'll try to lock but won't fully click in and it'll remain unlocked from the outside. It looks like it has tried to unlock but hasn't fully as shown in the attached picture.


It will lock fine when i use the key fob, but when I unlock the car with the fob it'll stay locked from the outside. Then that sort of stopped happening, maybe once a week but it's been replaced with another problem. It started where the auto folding mirror wouldn't fold out when i unlocked the car, it would fold in fine but not out, i'd have to keep pressing the fold mirror button a few times to get it to eventually fold out properly. For the past few months I've been having problems with my 2011 Mondeo passenger side door.
