Drivers Side Door

[RUNVS]

I'll keep it nice and short. I locked my car keys in , I left them in the ignition with the radio turned on and went to plays sports. When I realized that I locked my self out, I called the RAA. They came around and could not open the drivers side door. It is a 4 door R33. The rear and passenger side doors open, but I can't open my drivers side door even with the key now. Does any body know what the f is going on? Please help.

on mine my key has to be in a very exact position before the drivers door will open

The thing is the key does open all the other doors even when used at the drivers side lock, it just rebounds back and locks them all again. Even when I'm inside and push the lock nob to open, it opens all the other doors (except drivers side) but then rebounds and locks them again. Its so god damn annoying that I'm almost ready to cut the trim out and see what the hell is going on !

have you tried disconnecting the battery, then trying the key?

might be central locking gone mad, and not having power run through it could do the trick.... if the central locking motor has seized, u might have to sacrifice a door trim.

::::EDIT::::

judging by ur other post, the motor may have seized, or the relay has gone tits up

Yeah, I tried the battery trick. Still the same story.

I guess I'm looking for a door trim now or a price on getting this door working again . Either way I got to do something, luckily It's a weekend car.

Anyway thanks for your help.

With the battery disconnected. Try the key in the door, at worst you may have to hold the key in the unlock position whilst opening the door. The door should open.

If this is what you tried then it sounds like you are up for a new lock mechanism.

Or if you are lucky it might be that the RAA guy has just bent something.

Best of luck

ive had this happen on my passanger door also, its a loose wire clip that holds the auto lock mechanism together. I had to pull the exterior trim out carefully and mess around with a coat hanger to hold the wire in a certain position where i could open the damn door.

just take your door trim off and follow the locking wire all the way back to the servo, im sure youll find where the problem is.
