Passenger door not unlocking on the key

James_Death · 9th October 2010, 01:27

Hi folks im sure someone will tell me exactly what is happening here!!!!
I had the battery off to charge it as my car often stood for days or weeks on end.
Charged battery for wife to pick father inlaw up from airport.
I tend to lock and unlock all cars on the key but especially with the 75 so less powerdrain as not activating the internal alarm sensors.
Anyways the front passenger door will not lock or unlock on the key.
The passenger door will lock with the remote but will not unlock on the remote.
Wiered!!
Any pointers appreciated.

I hope i can make myself clear enough in English, because it's a bit technical.....

I think you will have to get the doorpanel off. Probably the "pump" (

how do you call it) which opens/closes the doormechanism isn't functioning good enough.

Or there is a bit of tension on the pump, or a bit of WD40 does the job...

I had the same problem with my first 75 (the left-back-door), and WD40 made a miracle possible....
