Just noticed passenger door behind driver will not open any suggestions please
Had the same problem on my MY2013 yesterday. Rear door driver-side not possible to open from outside or inside. Door locks/unlocks when pressing the keyfob, but cant open door. For a while now upon this point, the keyless-sensor in this door have been a bit sluggish, and not always responds to touching the doorhandle, so I think the reason for this problem is because I managed to get the mechanism stuck when pulling the handle before the sensors actually had registrered the touch and unlocked the door, kindof "in the middle" of the unlocking process.. Anyway, googled a bit and found that it should be possible to take the door cover off whithout damaging it. Found this picture-guide helpfull:Tok the B-pillar cover off first, and pulled the gasket aside. Was a bit fiddly to get the front screw out because little clearance, but its only screwed into a plastic piece, so with a T25 torx-bit, and needle pliers i got it out: View attachment 16710 Then its jsut two more T25 screws under the handle: View attachment 16711 Pick out the window button and disconnect cable. Lift door cover upwards to release. With door-cover now off, disconnect tweeter-speaker cable and door handle pull-wire and put doorcover aside. View attachment 16712 By removing the grey rubber gasket in the whole where the pull-wire goes trough, i then poked around onto the locking mechanism in there. You need a torch to see. Suddently i heard a "click" and the release mechanism snappen back into place. Now I could open the door again both from inside and outside. WhenI first had the doorcover off, and the door open, i also took off the outer doorhandle. (See this video on youtube how: ) I found some corrosion in the cableconnector, which probably is the cause for bad operation/sensors not registering touch. I cleaned it out propertly. I also lubricated door-lock with WD40 (with a straw) anywhere I could access, and put everything back togheter. Door now locks/unlocks and open/closes smooth. Also the touch-sensors in doorhandle now respons quick from touch. Hopefully this problem wont come back now (on this door at least). I also will be a bit more carefull, making sure the door is completely unlocked before yanking hard on the door handle Took me about an hour, but atleast it didnt cost me anything to sort out Good luck
