Default S40 2.0 euro 4 - passenger side doors locked and won't open

Hi

S40 2005

I've seen a few posts with the same problem i have.

My passenger doors (front and back) are both locked and won't react to the central locking, i've tried to open the doors from the inside but they won't budge.

I have seen that you need to be able to get to the lock mechanism which means taking the door panel off, how do you do this though?

Please help, i'm about to take a hammer to the doors!!....

any help would be welcome

I'm unsure what you mean as i can't find my handbook, is it an easy process? Any chance you could tell me more and i promise to put the hammer aside....

you have to go through the settings in your car its below the radio you can set the doors to open all at once or in turn , or set the alarm lighting and home safe timings etc ..

Press "Menu" and check door lock settings or reset defaults.

This didn't work, all the doors are still locked!!

Is there anything else i can try?

would disconnecting the battery and then connecting it again do anything? (other than the obvious)

Had the same issue once, it's not the doors themselves.

Both doors run on the same fuse

Get the fusebox out - and swap the fuses on the doors (left side to right side and vice versa), bet you a quid that the OTHER side won't work, and you'll fix this with a £1 fuse

PS welcome! where are you in glasgow? West end here

I took all the fuses out yesterday and had a look at them, they seemed fine but i'll double check them again today...
I'm just at Maryhill Road, just down from the Jag and Volvo garage (luckily enough)
I don't suppose you know which fuses to switch over as i can't find my hand book?
