Antallica 15 Report post Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) Hey guys, Haven't used my rear doors in weeks but just noticed tonight that my LH Rear passenger door is stuck in locked position. When I try to unlock it manually I can hear the mechanism inside working but it won't 'clunk' upwards, just goes back down. Any ideas?? .... on a side note my LH Front Passenger door will control the central locking when closed but will not do it when open anymore I can't figure that one out either. Instructions on how to work with E36 door locking system Edited March 1, 2009 by Antallica Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted February 28, 2009 You need to remove the central lock motor off the top of the door lock inside the door panel towards the rear of the car. Its a little black box on top of the lock with a wiring harness clipped into it. Bit hard to explain on here though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antallica 15 Report post Posted February 28, 2009 Can it be done without being able to open the door? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted February 28, 2009 Once you get the lock motor off the top, it just clips on, you should then be able to manually open the door if the lock motor is faulty. If not its the lock that has broken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
