Passenger Side Automatic Door Lock Not Working

All three other door locks respond normally.

Passenger side automatic door lock not working.

If all of the door locks are inoperative start your diagnosis at the fuse box. This is a cheap and easy fix. It does open close when i insert the key in the driver side door. Again if one door doesn t work but others do the problem could be with the door lock solenoid.

The only way to lock unlock it is manually push the lock from the inside or use the key from the outside. Defrost the lock to check an individual lock mechanism work the door lock manually up and down or backwards and forwards in newer vehicles while using the auto lock button at the same time. Replacing it may require removing the car door panel. If the lock tries to move then the problem could be a frozen lock mechanism or a faulty solenoid.

Have the same problem with my driver side lock i believe i need a new actuator. The solenoid is bad. Shearer adds that in cases where all of the locks fail to work it s likely a sign of a defective switch which triggers all of the actuators or a blown fuse. If i insert the key into the passenger side door the lock doesnt open close.

If it s not sending a signal the fob will likely have to be replaced. An inoperative power door lock can be caused by the switch solenoid wiring problem or mechanical problem within the linkage of the affected door. If one door doesn t work but others do the problem could be a blown fuse. The door lock doent open close with any switches on the passenger driver switch pad nor does it open with my remote.

Inspect the fuse that protects the door lock circuit to ensure it is not blown. In most cases vaupell says it s the driver s side door actuator that breaks down because it s used the most. I have an 08 altima 2 5s and two days ago my driver s side door lock stopped working in response to the remote the keyless entry button on the door handle and the lock button on the inside. Just make sure the key is on.
