Hi All, I know this has been discussed elsewhere on this forum, but I can't find it at the moment, but I am experiencing the "unable to open passenger doors with remote" problem and loosing all electrics in both passenger doors. I have read elsewhere that this is due to a dodgy connector somewhere. I have discovered that I can open the door from the inside manually and that a quick jiggle of the connector that connects the car body and door seems to solve the problem for a while. Is this a coincidence or is the problem somewhere else. I am wondering if anyone knows exactly where the cause of this problem is. Thanks.
sounds like the problem that I had..... four visits to the dealership and only replacing the wiring loom in the driver's door fixed it. The previous three visits were to re-grease and re-make connectors, but only lasted 24 hours each time. Thank God for warranties !

You think it would be quicker and cheaper for the dealer to solder the rlevant wires - the connectors are only there to enable door motors to be clipped in quickly when on the car.

So the question is, where are these connectors? I'd like to do a bit of preventativestuff and waterproof them before water actually gets in. Can anyone help?
hello I dont have the bulletin to hand but there is one for water ingress into the the connectors for the door locks solenoids etc. I believe they are in the door. Due to NDA bulletins cant be given to customers - they are dealer only currently.
After last weeks downpours in the North of England, the passenger doors locked shut again. I booked it into my local dealer who say they have rectified the problem. I suspect that they just covered it in grease. Time will tell. As an aside, they also removed a stone from my brake guard that was causing a rubbing noise when I did any right turns. I think that has been pointed out as an issue in other threads on this site. But it's one to remember for the future. (maybe I shouldn't go driving through great big puddles !!)
