How to open doors when locks failed (F25)
My X3 works fine. Remote ok. Battery ok. Drives ok. BUT the doors are suddenly locked permanently (except driver side which I can open as usual and lock with the manual key). Tailgate opens and locks ok. Inside door release button below hazard lights button does nothing. Fuel flap locked too.
Tried d/c battery. No difference. How do I get the other doors to open??? I thought the passenger side was mechanical release? Help!! Any ideas on troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated! |

Check your owners manual...there should be an emergency pull cord to open the fuel filler flap when it's electrical actuator fails.
Ditto...check your fuse index to find the fuses that controls central locking and check to see they are blown. If the vehicle hasn't been double-locked (locked with the remote fob or the driver's exterior door lock cylinder)...then the interior door handles should open when pulled twice. If the vehicle has been double-locked (key fob or driver's door lock cylinder)...then the interior and exterior door handles are disabled and will not open until EWS has been recognized (key in ignition or engine started).

Had same issues recently - Central locking doesn't work at all and neither does the double pull
Check fuses - turned out to be fuse 15 for me https://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/attac...1&d=1305345949 |
