Tell me, there is a bora 2001. Doors won't open with key or alarm. With the key, the thrust rises and that's it, you release the key and it goes back. If I lower one glass, it falls by itself, just need to remove ducktape, then from the inside will I be able to open it or will it be like with a key, just raising the thrust, but without opening it?

@simonbracher1628 2 жыл бұрын

@@connorheaton5158 Yes. Eventually… I worked out that I couldn’t remove the inner door card so the door had to be opened. In the end I took it to my local garage and they broke in for me. They literally smashed / destroyed the door lock with a chisel / screwdriver working through the gap between the outer skin and the window when it was fully lowered. Once the door was opened I fitted a new door lock I bought from Autodoc. This was straightforward as I could remove the outer skin with the door open. When I got the skin off the old lock mechanism was literally in pieces. I hope this helps. Good luck!

After trying all of the above on a mk4 front right door lock actuator that was throwing fault code “Communication intermittent” and that was unable to lift mechanically and “stay lifted”, I decided to RUN THE ENGINE and voila, the door unlocked after pressing keyfob unlock. Must have been the extra juice from the alternator vs fully charged battery?

Pull outside handle, in the gap that opens up there's a small square piece of plastic. Flick this open with a small screwdriver this will disconnect cable. You should be able to open door from inside now but it won't fix the problem, this will still need looking at but at least you should be able to open the door to investigate the issue.

Same happened to me. I'm afraid you're kind of stuffed! Even if you found it (a small brass screw) it would be almost impossible to put back in. I solved it by just replacing the whole entire door. You only have to take the wiring connector off and the 4/6 hinge bolts and you've a new (from a scrap car) door!

No indicator light on the window up/down switch either. The only thing that is working is the speaker. 3. I checked ground (Br-wire) and positive (Red & white) both are good. 4. There is power on the window regulator terminals, But it just won't take orders from me 🤔 What do you think?

However one of the can-bus wires (high or low) was cut off just inside of the rubber boot of the problem door. reconnected that and voila! So the door module needs both can-bus high & low connected to it, just to do its basic functions. I thought you might want to know.

My passenger door is stuck closed. I arrived to the point of having access with the scrub driver to the plastic unlock mechanism. What is different from your movie is that the plastic unlock once pushed is returning to the default lock position. I believe is from the electronic module which is stucked closed. I was hoping that your solution will bypass also the electronic stuck problem.
