Title: Remote locking not working on driver door
Post by: blueislander80 on September 20, 2017, 01:23:32 pm

Hi all - something's gone amiss - my car will unlock remotely except for my driver door. This is the same with both keys.

if I go to the car first thing in the morning it will unlock, but then if I try again a minute later it won't unlock remotely. Some sort of sensor or battery issue in the door lock mechanism itself? Any idea what needs doing?

Thanks

I would say door lock mechanism or first of all have a look at the wires inside the rubber boot between the door and pillar. It prob won't be that if it works one minute but not the next but it's worth a look just in case and I won't cost you anything to look
