Jul 21, 2008 Using the remote or the central lock, my driver's door will not unlock. All other doors work perfectly. It won't unlock manually with the key in the door, and it won't even unlock when I pull on the inside door handle. M5Board is the best forum community for information on the BMW M5 E60 (V-10), E39 (V-8), E34 (straight 6), E28, F90 and F10. RE: E90 Drivers Door Won't Lock Well, in Jan both front door locking mechanisms on mine were replaced - didn't have a problem with the locks, but there was a strange squeaking sound from the rear of the car every time I was locking the car.

Driver side door lock not working after replacing door handle carrier Hi, my driver's side door won't open from outside. I searched this forum and found that the door handle carrier needs to be replaced. I followed the DIY fix here posted by personanongrata (http://www.xoutpost.com/articles/x5/...andle-fix.html). Thank you personanongrata! After 2 hours of fumbling the door handle problem was finally fixed. The door opens fine now. However I got a new problem. The door lock now won't work automatically. When I press my key button, all other 3 door locks but this driver side door. Press the key again, all other 3 door unlocks(but this driver door won't unlock if it's in locked position). If I do it manually by pushing down the little pushpin then the door locks fine. I can also open the door with the key from outside(by inserting the key into the keyhole and turn). I just lost all the remote capability on this driver side door lock. I can manage it but it's inconvenient. I checked the lock actuator and it seems fine from a side peek. I didn't take it off for a more thorough inspection though. Does anybody know what might have I done incorrectly to cause this problem? When I pull the old door handle carrier out I might inadvertently touched something there. The pushpin's still connected to the actuator and everything looks fine. Another I noticed that might relates to this problem is when the door's open, I can't fully push the pushpin down. It will go halfways then bounce up again. But when I close the door, I can push the pushpin down and lock the door as normal. The other good doors don't have this problem. Any inputs will be greatly appreciated! |
