350z doors are locked shut

[Bradrz_p191]

Hi there 

 

couple weeks back I went to unlock my car and the key fob didn’t work so I initially thought it’s the fob battery ( bought 2 new ones ) replaces them.... still nothing... tried the key in the barrel, doesn’t open the drives door!!

 

i eventually had to smash my window to get into the car..... once inside I tried to unlock the doors with the master lock/unlock button.... that didn’t work tried the manual unlock by the leave .... nothing.... it’s like it’s lost its live feed or something along them lines so I put the key in the ignition and the car started up first time just doors wouldn’t open ( that’s the battery rules out ) 

 

can any body give me some advice on how to sort this please been researching for couple weeks and everything Iv tried  hasn’t worked

I would check all the fuses first - then you need to get the door handle apart and start checking to see if power is getting to the switches, there is an online manual on the forum somewhere and that has the wiring pinouts and power feeds you need to look for.

 

Good luck

I’ve checked all the fuses as there all good, is here any way you know to try get the door over as it’s shut and no way of taking the door handle off without opening the door?

 

thanks

The driver side door unlocks both mechanically and electrically while the passenger door only unlocks electrically.  The passenger door unlocks the second time you turn the key to the unlock position within 5 seconds.  I'm assuming you tried this when you first discovered the problem.

 

Both side windows should lower if you hold down the unlock button on the remote fob or hold the key in the door lock to the unlocked position.  I hope you tried that before smashing the window.

Yeah I tried all that but the key fob doesn’t work either and the red light on the dash doesn’t flash any more as it use to flash!!!

Really? I've seen this on American Z's on YT but this doesn't work on mine.

Also tried on mine and it doesnt do it

Too bad.  It's a nice feature to have on a hot day.

I believe you can get this programmed in but like people said it’s only on the American cars that this works plus no help to me as my fob don’t work to get the windows down or open the doors yet

So were you able to get into the car?

 

Also, what was the problem? Faulty locking module?
