Mini Cooper Driver Door Won T Lock

Had my local kia dealer run a diagnostics test which by the way they have done all the service since new.

Mini cooper driver door won t lock.

I am the new owner of a 2003 mini with 86 000 miles. A month ago my door locks wouldn t lock. When i first bought the mini only the driver door and the rear hatch locks were responsive to the lock unlock buttons on the key. The current and failure mileage were 18 500.

If doing the driver side door you will also need to position the key lock rod into place for the star end to slide into its place in the actuator. The dealer was called and an estimate for the repair was given over the phone. While holding the unlock button press and release the lock centre mini logo button 3 times within 10 seconds. Within 30 seconds of removing the key press and hold the lock and unlock buttons at the same time the mini button in the middle is the lock button and the button nearest the key blade is the unlock button.

This video is applicable to the 07 08 09 10. 1a auto shows you how to repair install fix change or replace a broken or snapped power door lock actuator. See all problems of the 2002 mini cooper. With the actuator in position start threading one of the three torx screws that hold it to the door.

This will hold it in place enough while you reconnect the exterior handle cable. I had to lock and unlock the passenger door by hand. When pressing the lock down physically it pops back up as if the key was still in the ignition as a safeguard preventing you from locking your keys in the car. Driver side door will not lock with fob or manually.

The component that needed to be replaced was unknown. While looking for the cause of the problem i checked all of the fuses and they are fine. I was told i needed a drivers side central locking switch actuator. I have a 2013 kia soul that i bought new in 2012.
