Door locks unlocks

Sounds like the main wiring loom into the door has been damaged.
Check near the hinges, where the door swings, to see if any damaged wires. Does the door lock and unlock from the drivers side switch?

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

Is a fuse blown? My passenger side door's electrical won't work.

Generally fuses control an entire system, in this case it sounds as if you have a wiring problem such as a plug has come undone that wires the door equipment. Check the wiring that goes to the door, follow it to your problem.
