Leaks & Noises
Hi, I wonder if anyone could shed some light on my problem. I have a Zafira B 2006 1.8 petrol and recently all the passenger door locks became deadlocked. Operating the remote opens and locks the drivers door and the tailgate.
However although you can hear and feel the central locking motors work on each of the passenger doors, they still remain locked.
Having read numerous postings on this problem, I'm still at a dead end.
So far I have tried the following;-
1. Disconnected the battery and reconnected after a short time -nothing.
2. Had the car checked on various computers as well as Tech2-no faults showing.
3. Removed the rear n/s passenger door card [with great difficulty] myself as three different garages could not do it. Wriggled the wiring - nothing.
4. the car has been with an electrician for last 4 days who now says he thinks its the motor.
As you will appreciate I am now getting a bit anxious. As I know I can not afford anything the dealers will quote, I will have to find a solution with help from people like myself.
I think I will have to remove the lock, but don't have a clue. All I can see is two cross head screws on the motor, one at the top and the other at the bottom.
Any advice/pictures on removing the lock would be greatly appreciated. As indicated above the doors are locked shut. Removing front passenger door card will be a nightmare as I understand it has screws in it.
Many thanks in anticipation

The door panels just screwed on alough they tend to hide some of the screws behind covers on the door handle but not difficult to remove,you may find it,s just a connection issue at the solenoid,water in it.

Check the wiring loom inside the rubber boot that goes between the bottom of the door to the car body I have a very similar problem where the back passenger door won't open from the outside when unlocked and found that there was 3 broken wires. there's a black/red signal wire and a Black/yellow signal wire for locking and unlocking and a black/blue wire for the deadlock signal. you will have to remove the speaker to get at the plug (take off the door card) there is a blue retainer on the plug which you unclip from inside the door then you will be able to un plug the plug and pull the rubber boot back to check the wires.
Been on various forums and this seems to be a VERY common fault.

IN ADDITION TO PREVIOUS ANSWER
I found that the back door will open from the inside when the door is locked. also there is a brown clip on the rubber boot you will have to remove as well once unplugged.
hope this helps
