Comfort access not working drivers side

ed_2010.328i · 04-14-2018, 05:03 PM

I have had this car for about a month (2010 328i xDrive with iDrive) and the driver door comfort access has not worked. Its pretty sad because the passenger door works perfect. I checked all the fuses and that didn't do a thing. Any other ideas? Just trying to be a lazier guy by not using the key fob at all lol.

Replace the door handle. I got one in color off eBay for $15.

I have no problem opening the door, it only unlocks with the key fob

CA is built into the handle. They go bad, often times due to water intrusion. Replacing just the handle (no need to do carrier) is really easy and will fix your problem.
