Driver's door unable to lock unlock

Driver's door unable to lock. Do I need to replace the entire lock or can a repair be carried out? If a repair how can this be done? do I need to dismantle the interior door to gain access to the door lock? How difficult is this to do without special tools?

First, you really don't give us enough info to help you. What kind of a car? Power door locks? Do you mean the key won't turn in the lock? Is the lock frozen? What country are you in? In the USA, just call a locksmith and they can come out slip a special tool down the window to open it up.

Side loading door on Vauxhall vivaro doesn't lock/unlock

  1. Check the door lock mechanism: Ensure that the lock mechanism is functioning properly by checking it manually. If it's not working, it may need to be repaired or replaced.
  2. Check the electrical system: Make sure that the wiring and connections are secure and functioning properly. If there is an issue with the electrical system, it may need to be repaired.
  3. Check the control module: If the door lock mechanism and electrical system appear to be functioning properly, the issue may be with the central locking control module. It may need to be repaired or replaced.
  4. Contact a mechanic: If you are unable to resolve the issue on your own, it's best to take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic. They can diagnose the problem and provide a solution.
Note: The solution will depend on the specific issue, so it's recommended to have a professional diagnose the problem for an accurate and effective repair.

What do I replace if my Auto door locks won't work

First off testing would need to be done to determen what the cause is . The door locks on your vehicle are controlled by a computer ,BCM - body control module . The first test would be to check for DTC'S diagnostic trouble codes in the BCM . An to do this you would need a factory scan tool , not a OBD2 code reader . Door Lock System Components
The Power Door Lock System consists of the following components:
ā€¢ Body control module (BCM)
ā€¢ Driver door lock switch
ā€¢ Front passenger door lock switch
ā€¢ Reversible door lock actuator in each of the doors
ā€¢ IBCM (PWR) 15-amp fuse
ā€¢ Driver door cylinder switch, if equipped
Door Lock System Controls
The Power Door Lock System is controlled by the body control module (BCM) and can be activated by any one of the following:
ā€¢ A door lock switch lock or unlock actuation
ā€¢ A keyless entry transmitter actuation
ā€¢ An automatic door lock or unlock actuation
ā€¢ A last door closed locking (LDCL) actuation
If the driver door cylinder switch feature of the vehicle is functional, the locks may also be operated by a driver door cylinder switch lock or unlock activation.
Your best bet would be to take to a ASE certified repair shop or the dealer.Because if the BCM were the problem an had to be replaced , it would need programming .
Each door lock switch is wired to the body control module (BCM) through a separate door lock/unlock signal circuit. While these circuits are separated between the BCM and respective door lock switch, they are connected into a single circuit within the BCM. The BCM supplies voltage through the door lock/unlock signal circuits to each door lock switch. When either door lock switch is operated, this supply voltage is pulled to ground, providing the BCM with the required lock or unlock signal. In order for the BCM to distinguish between a lock and unlock signal, the lock switch contains two separate paths for this voltage to flow to the same body ground. When the switch is operated to the unlock position, the supply voltage flows to ground through a 1.5K ohm resistor. When the switch is operated to the lock position, the supply voltage flows to ground through a different part of the switch circuit, which has no resistor. The BCM then interprets the flow of voltage as a lock or unlock request and powers the door lock actuators to the appropriate lock or unlock position.

The entire lock kit is falling out on driver side Murano. The remote unlocks all but the driver door at times. Other times the door will not open and I am forced to use the key to manually unlock my driver...

Open drivers door, locate plastic plug on inside of door, near latch, across from door lock cylinder. Pop it out. There is a set screw that retains lock cylinder. Tighten set screw.

2003 Nissan Murano Driver door won't lock or unlock with keyfob

The key fob is the remote. But the remote type that works like a key. The remotes that you just need to carry on you to start the car or truck. That is a Key Fob.

Thanks Jay!
