Help with Passenger Door wont Open

[killer205]

Afternoon All,

Sorry am new to this forum and only had my X5 for 10 months

I have never been able to lock the drivers door or passenger door with the key or button inside the car, I assumed the actuators had gone.

I locked the passenger door by hand by pressing the lock down and the drivers door locked by manual with the key.

I am now unable to unlock the passenger side it seems like the lock is stuck on. I have tried the white block putting 12v to the pins 12 6 and 7 but no luck.

I have tried to take the door card of but haven't been able to gain much room, is there any other way I can open the passenger side door without having to damage the door card? Is there a way if I can get my hand inside the door to open it?

Thank you in advance for any help

You need to remove the passenger seat... If you take it out through the back door you will have access to get the door panel off. It is tight but can be done!

Not a BMW, but a car with similar, problem and the fix.
