Hi,

As the title says my front passenger door remain locked after i use the remote or the key hole on the driver's door.

I assume that the wires snapped, because sometimes it locks sometimes not.

But right now the door is stayed locked wich meas i cant work on the wires.

Do you have any suggestion how can i open it?

Thank you in advance!

Might not be the wires as you say the most commmon issue is the central lock body theres a lever on this unit that rusts up, you can for a start spray WD into the outside lever /handle part but ensure you put a cloth under the handle not to let the WD40 runs down the outside of the door, wait a few minutes then use the remote and keep pressing lock/unlock while bang the palm of your hand against the panel just under the dor handle ,if this doesn't work you can get the inner door card off from inside but you might destroy it doing so there is a thread on here somewhere or pehps youtube that shows the issue with this lever sticking and how to free it up once removed, it culd be the wires but mostly it stems from the door/hindge connector plug that might need taking ut and cleaning this up but again you need the door to be open to do this give a try banging first it might work

So, a big update for this topic, i have managed to fix the door problem.

First of all i tested what you suggested, sadly that didn't work.

(Side note the lock was fine after all you can read below, apart from a micro switch but thats another story and time to fix. )

So i managed to losen the bolts what's hold the door panel from inside, then get off the door panel just as much as i have access to the wires. In the part of the wire loom wich goes to the lock i cut the brown and purple/blue wires. Got a small transformer wich can provide 12V DC, and connected them together and the voilá the door lock released, of course you need to find the correct polarity, if i remember right the brown one is the negative and the purple/blue was the positive and dont let the 12V DC on it after opend beacuse it can damage the lock just for an impulse as it should operate normally when use the key. After that the door lock released as it gets some electricity and i was be able to open the door.

After that i had access to the connector between the door and the chassis. Of course some of the wires needed repair, some of them needed to reinsulate etc.

I found a small cable tie on one of the rubber's holding points from the door side, thats made the wires stretched i cut that one.

Then, fixed all of the wires, including the ones wich we cut to operate the lock. Got some WD40 on the lock mechanic just in case and start to reassemble the door.

The rest is history.

Regarding to the microswitch, yeah that wasn'st work since i got the car, i think i need to change the lock, or at least the microswitch. But for now it's not a big deal.

Sorry i forget to take pictures, anyway i got dark at the meantime.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Take care.
