The driver side and the truck lock but the passenger side doesn't. While out side the car I insert my key on the drivers side to lock the doors and it only locks the driver door and trunk. If I walk to the passenger door and lock it with the key it locks all of them. Pulling the handle manual does open the door.Does anybody a fix for this? Which part broke? | | | 05-31-2006, 07:57 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 | Pull the panel and moisture guard (black foam piece) and inspect the wiring. Could be a simple fault. __________________ I scream, you scream, we all scream for ZOMBIES. | | | 06-01-2006, 02:36 PM | #3 | Junior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: Brooklyn ,New York Posts: 10 | thanks im going to try this over the weekend. | | | 06-01-2006, 04:20 PM | #4 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | actuator may be sticking or, worse case, needs to be replaced. i had one of these fail once. unfortunately, not cheap (something like $200 ... that might have included labor, it was so long ago i forget). __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles current mods: bilstein sports, bavauto springs, e30 m3 LCABs, solid metal ball joints, bavauto RSMs w/reinforcements, e30 3.73 LSD & halfshafts, supersprint cat-back exhaust, turner rear sway bar reinforcements, IE poly subframe & RTABs + camber/toe kits, powdercoated e36 32x front calipers, sport mirrors, H&R 28mmF/19mmR sway bars, x-brace, auto solutions SSK w/poly bushing upgrade, BMW CD43 head unit, DICE HD Radio w/iPod integration and "stealth" HD antenna, staggered style 68s, orange electronic TPMS, leather arm rest, JT Designs metal undertray acquired and awaiting install: heated seat kit, cali top switch relo, lumbar support kit, park distance control kit, heated washer nozzle kit, m-coupe rear subframe, trailing arms, differential, and halfshafts, m-coupe front/rear brakes with master cylinder, under hood light kit, mud flaps, rear sun blind, auto-dimming rear view mirror, tilt steering wheel retrofit, apexcone 5000K HIDs with 55W ballasts 2002 X5 4.4 Sport Package, 53.5k miles Current Mods: e46 m3 steering wheel | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
