stanski Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Hi folks hope you can help please. Lucy's passenger door wont unlock? We can hear it try to unlock but it does'nt seem to go far enough back to release the catch? Tried manually to push the door switch back and pull on the outside door handle but no joy? Did a search on the forum but no joy - checked the guide to undo the door trim but we cant as the door is closed shut! Any advice gratefuly received Quote
Stew Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Not something I've heard of before Stan. Emmmmmm, No idea though! Quote
Ebized Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Can opener More seriously, I presume you have tried both the drivers and passengers switches, otherwise Quote
H5 Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Is the switch moving on the inside of the door when using the remote or the drivers door button? Quote
stanski Posted May 25, 2009 Author Posted May 25, 2009 Is the switch moving on the inside of the door when using the remote or the drivers door button? Yes the switch is moving inside - but its obvious that it doesn't move back as far as the drivers side one? Its either a solenoid issue or whatever - but the bigger problem is not being able to manually find a way to release the door catch to open the door to remove the door card? We can hear the motor but it must'nt be moving the catch far enough? Quote
Chris`I Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 That doesnt sound good! I always assumed that when you push the switch it manually opens the latch or pushes the mechanism. If you cant do that by hand I assume something is jammed. You may still be able to remove enough around the door handle area to get a bit of a looksie at some of the mech. Not sure how I'd go about fixing it, dare I say it, you migh need a stealer Quote

Coincidentally the passengar door on mine has started to make a buzzing noises when I lock or unlock mine - like a fitting is loose or something -lets hope they havn't got swine flu or something!

Beavis Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Dealer issue Stan, i had the same thing with a Vectra many years ago. Took it to the dealers and they sorted it out. God knows how because i tried everything to get the door to open. Quote
zedwagon Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 it opened this morning not from the key but from iniside tried locking it then unlocking and it worked - twice! will see how it goes over next couple of days thanks for replies Quote
Ebized Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 Can opener More seriously, I presume you have tried both the drivers and passengers switches, otherwise see - not all my ideas are wind-ups Glad it seems to be sorted Lucy Quote
zedwagon Posted May 26, 2009 Posted May 26, 2009 yes, the same thing wasn't working yesterday so hopefully it will just be a glitch!! good job it's not the driver's door aswell! Quote
