rear doors won't open

Post by leevee » Fri May 13, 2011 5:51 pm

Hi everyone
I have just brought my first X5 2004 3.0D sport will be introducing myself in the newbies section shortly.

Have had a problem develop today the rear doors won't open ,fronts and tailgate no problem ,the droppins go up and down fine motors sound ok but the bloody doors don't open! from the key fob or the internal c/l button .

Am I doing something stupid :oops: wrong or can anyone shed any light on the problem .
:headbang:
Thanks in advance Lee.

The nearside rear door is now working again but nothing from the offside from inside or out! :cry:

It sounds like the lock actuators are sticking or failed/ing.

Use the warranty for that , pita job to do and not so cheap iirc.

Good luck
