About Central Locking Motor
The ZT MG central locking motor is a 2 wire electrical motor that attaches to the power supply on the vehicle and uses electrical power to operate the central locking to lock or unlock the vehicle. There is one ZT MG central locking motor per door on the vehicle, and another to operate the boot. Often when the central locking is used you will hear the motor whirr in to action. This noise will also be accompanied by a clunking noise when locking and unlocking the door.
Failures of the ZT MG central locking motor could be caused by dirty brushes inside the motor. It is possible to clean these and see if this solves the problem. However, if the ZT MG central locking motor is still out of action, it’s possible that one of the components of the motor has failed. A common cause of motor failure is the microswitch. If the motor fails, you will most likely require a replacement.
Failure to replace the damaged motor will mean that you are unable to lock or unlock its corresponding door or boot. This can obviously cause security issues, so it is recommended to get the motor replaced as soon as possible.
MG trivia
- Honda won the Manufacturer’s Championship for a four-year streak but was finally destroyed by MG in 2014 when the MG6 GT (which had only been competing for three years) beat its rival with an impressive 95-point win at Brands Hatch. MG also came second in the Constructors Championship in 2015.
- In 1931 the MG EX210 became the first 750cc car to beat the 100mph mark and managed 103.13mph. Nicknamed the Magic Midget, the EX120 took a few attempts to break that record, but it got there eventually.
- At the moment, MG cars hold an impressive 40 different world land speed records, which might explain why the current MG slogan is ‘Safety Fast’.
- The current MG range is rolling out of the production factory in Shanghai at a rate of 880 units per day. The manufacturing plant is a whopping 1.2 million square metres, and had led SAIC Motor to sell a LOT of cars. In 2018 alone, SAIC sold over 7 million vehicles.
- In the film Breathless, starring Richard Gere and Valerie Kaprisky, Gere’s car thief character steals a pink MGB. However, when the car went up for auction in the mid-1980s, it was revealed that the famous pink car was actually orange and not pink at all!
