Central locking issues

Scotclimb · Oct 29, 2021

Hi we have a 2008 se
Our passenger door sometimes opens from fob. Always locks from fob. But most of the time I have to get in and manually open it. I’ve tried single click double click. Is this an easy fix? Thanks

Could it be that the battery in the fob maybe needs changing.?

Thanks for your reply ozzy but it works fine. I tried the double click last night and it worked. I was double clicking the fob maybe to slow. When doing it really quick it seemed to work. Or maybe it was just a fluke. Here’s hoping it was just user error

The passenger door lock actuator is probably faulty or sticking. You would need to take off the door card to investigate what is happening.

Thanks Brian. I thought it was solved but it’s back to not working from the fob again. Is this an easy job taking off the door card / replacing actuator or are they serviceable? Thanks

I very much doubt it, I’m afraid.
