Hello everyone, hope you're having a nice weekend. I have a problem with the rear door on my Fabia (behing the passenger). It's just stuck all of the sudden and it doesn't react on unlock. I can't open the door in any way, from the inside or the outside or manualy pull the unlock hinge. Browsing the web, I Iearned that the problem could be the lock motor inside the rear door. Do any of you have an idea how can I tackle this problem? I've seen videos of replacing the motor but the problem is that I can't open the door to get to the motor. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. 😊

Some people have luck by repeatedly thumping with the side of a clenched fist inside the door close to where the lock is. At the same time, keep pulling the door handles repeatedly and also keep repeatedly pressing on the unlock key fob. So you need a friend to help you with this. The thumping maybe enough to momentarily reactivate the micro switch that has failed in the door lock.

If you are lucky and it opens, don’t relock but replace the lock module.

A preowned genuine one is going to last longer than a £20 pattern part on EBay.

not sure if you have this fixed yet but i have the same issue with the passenger rear, i replaces the lock actuator and although worked a few times it reverted back to not working,

check the wiring beside the door hinges. remove the rubber casing and check for broken wires. this was my isse with one of the wires had broken.
