Jelp, driver door won't lock after changing central locking fuseg

Martinskalnins84 · 06-04-2024, 02:11 PM

I have a problem. So 3-4 days ago, one of the fuses for the central lock burned. But before I even checked the fuses, I first checked to see if I could lock the doors from the inside by pressing the lock button inside the car many times and it didn't, so I tried to press the lock thing on the door on passenger front door from inside and it locked successfully. But when I tried to open it up again from inside I couldn't. So after that, I checked if the keyfob key would lock all doors by inserting the car key into the keyhole on the driver's side door and it just locked the driver's door while all the other doors didn't lock. After that, I decided to check the fuses, so I took all the fuses for the central locking when I found one fuse blown by number 72 if I remember correctly (15 Ampers). So after I found it, I put all the good ones back correctly and then pressed the lock button on the keyfob accidentally when I closed the doors and went to buy a new fuse. After I came back and put in the new fuse the central lock started to work again and I could open the locked door on the passenger side from inside and of course all the others and the passenger (didn't notice on the driver side still then) with my keyfob. So after that, I got in and used the lock button from inside the car and noticed suddenly that my driver's door wasn't locking anymore with the keyfob or even the lock button from inside (it works by pressing down tho, or lock/unlock from outside). So right now I am using my keyfob key to lock the driver's side door.

I need help, as I searched it up, couldn't find anything about this.

The door lock actuators are known to go bad on these cars, especially on the pre-LCI models. When they do, they will typically blow a fuse. Because your fuse burned out and now your drivers actuator is not working, it may be related.
