Passenger door won't unlock

My remote central locking will only unlock the drivers door and not the passengers, but it does lock it.
The only way I can unlock it is via the handle as the switch will not unlock it either, but again will lock it.
Anyone had this problem or know how to fix it???

    I have the same problem, and now my key will not go into the ignition. the strange part is that the steering wheel will not lock either. All was fine last night, this just started this morning. Except for the lock, that started a while ago.

    I have this problem, and now my driver side door is doing it too...If I pull up really hard on the unlock tab it will finally let me out. Opens fine from the outside...just once inside the car it does not work correctly.

Flip the power lock switch on your dash (twice). Once only unlocks the drivers side door, twice unlocks the passenger side door and the hatchback. Good luck!

SOURCE: my passenger door central locking has stopped

Method 1: Press lock or unlock button 4 times in succession. Method 2: Switch ignition ON and OFF. Within 10 seconds press lock and unlock button in succession.
This is the only manual reset
If this does not work go to your local auto electrician
The probable fault could be central locking activator passenger door

SOURCE: land rover discovery central locking.

No, likely to be caused by the actuators in the lock mechanism failing usually causing the door to remain locked. The boor door can also fail this way, as do the front side doors. Replacement requires the whole lock unit to be replaced at a cost of roughly £60 a lock, and a hours work. Helps if you have small hands. Requires a full strip down of the door and you will need the lock unit, trim clips (a few quid) and a trim removal tool (tenner). You can bodge with a flat head screwdriver, but the tool does help prevent damage to the clips & trim panel.

SOURCE: passenger side door will only unlock if you pull handle and only lock if you push lock down.key,switch or remote won't work.

You are on the right track.

Door panel is easy to take off. you need a screwdriver and a panel popper (or if you don't have one carefully pull the panel off with your hands, you may have to get new panel clips) ,they are cheap so no big deal.

Door locks on the passenger side will not open with the remote

The master central locking module may be faulty. If the remote still operates the drivers side door lock and it will manually unlock with the key, it's possible the central lock mechanism in the drivers door is no longer sending a signal to all the other doors to lock/unlock. If all the door locks operate when you manually unlock the drivers door, the issue may be the remote receiver unit. It would help to know what car you're driving as some vehicles have inherent faults that are common and there is usually a go-to method of rectifying the problem.

My right side passenger door does not lock automatically anymore. Is there a fuse that operates this.

no all is related to one fuse you can remove the door internal controls and decore and remove center lock motor plug and test two connectors with multimeter with set on 12v and then lock un lock door and check the reading of the multimeter if it read signal then all plugs and wires from central lock control unit to the door central lock unit is okay it this cae you have to replace the door central lock unit with the same if no signal is readed while you lock unlock the door then you have to check central control unit and all wire plus out of it to the door plug

2- you can remove central control unit from driver door and test it in passenger door (usually the same unit ) if it works with lock unlock its then the replaced unit is faulty and needs to be replaced if it not work then check plugs wires from central lock unit (usually found inside driver door ) to the central lock unit in passenger door

3- check signal for said door fro the output of central door unit if no signal then it mean that faulty central lock control unit

All my remotes won't unlock passenger doors, why?

this is a problem that can appear after your car battery died, cause the car didn't reset propely, so taking the battery out and putting it back in or letting your car die again would do the trick. I tried a lot of reprogramming procedured for my remote key, none of them worked, what did the trick though was simply unlocking the doors via the all door unlock button on the passenger side door, so simple.

Central locking

turn key twice when opening, ie turn right. once drivers door will unlock, turn twice passengers doors will unlock, and locking is turn anti clock wise once will lock all doors, turn twice will set door dead locks.dead locks will stop openand lock internal button working and handle from opening door. the same actions can be applied to the remote one press drivers door, two press passenger doors, press and hold unlock button for 5 seconds and rear window will open.

Electric door locks only work from driver door

hi, does the drivers door unlock and lock all the other doors if it does then you may find that a clip or connecting bar has come off the passenger door lock, you would need to take the door panel off to check,

If how ever the passenger door dont lock and unlock via the drivers door then you would need to buy a new central locking motor for the passenger door..

Your best option would be to remove the passenger side door panel and get someone to lock and unlock the drivers door whilst you look at the passenger side and have a look to see what parts are moving this should then give you a good idea of the parts that could be damaged

Driver and Passenger auto door locks are inop.

Sounds like bad wiring, or bad door lock actuators. Check for power while locking/unlocking the doors.

Passenger door won't unlock

Check the owners manual, I think you need to set it up to unlock both doors at once.

Passenger door not opening with central locking

1st wind the glass down and turn the key in the driver door twice in clockwise direction to lock, at the sound of the second click try try opening the door thru the window (passenger) manually. you will need to pull the knob twice before it opens. you can get all the passenger doors open this way until you decide to change central lock system. To activate the remote; insert the key into driver door while pressing the lock or unlock button on the remote for at least five-ten seconds which should get it functioning normally again. hope this helps. it worked on mine.
