    Default Passenger door wont open

    Hi Guys.

    Having a problem with the passenger door on my Stilo.
    The keyfob appears to lock and unlock the door ok. You see the button go up or down. If the door is locked and you pull the handle from the inside it also unlocks the door. But even when the door appears to be unlocked (so the button is up) neither outside or inside handle actually engages the door release so the door will not open.

    The problem was intermittent for a few weeks, failing for a few days then suddenly working ok again, then eventually it has failed completely.

    At this stage I can get it working again if I pull off the door card and inner panel and disconnect/reconnect the electrical connection from the door lock mechanism, but this only last a few days before I'm back to square one with a door I can't open.

    Any advice or suggestions as to what is causing this and how I can fix, would be appreciated.

    Cheers

    Sounds like the deadlock is sticking due to dodgy connection. Do you use it when locking the car (double click lock and 3 flashes of hazards)? If so try using single locking and see if it solves it (single click of lock and single hazards flash).
