Since I bought the car, the front passenger door was staying unlocked. After replacing the car battery, it rectified itself. Now it has remained locked and will not open with the central locked or by manually pulling the lock up. Any ideas, possible reset?

Probably need a new motor. Easy fix either use the guide on here to change the switches or buy a second user,  I changed my drivers Door motor with a passenger motor from a corsa b. Just go by the part number

Standard CL motor failure. Starts off intermittent, and gets progressively worse.

Have you deadlocked it?

If not, you should be able to pull up button, and then replace the microswitch in the motor

Yes I have deadlocked it, as I didn't know there was a problem with the system. If I disconnect the battery, will it reset the system? As the door is now deadlocked, it there anyway to release it manually?

You need to remove the door card in situ. I had to do the same on my v70 as the plastic levers broke on the mechanism

Do you mean the whole door panel, or the wooden part? Thanks.

Sorry, but that information is completely false.

Ignore that statement.

Simply drop the window, then from the outside pull the button up with a pair of pliers/mole grips.

Don't worry if the plastic button pulls off... this is extremely unlikely, but if it does, simply repeat on the metal rod.

Short term fix is to unplug the lock motor and lock the door manually, long term fix is to repair/replace the motor... both of these require the removal of the door card which is obviously best done with the door open

Cheers for that. Now I'm not dead locking the car, it seems quite happy to open and close?

As I previously posted the door is now unlocking no problem, but why does it not unlock when deadlocked?

[Doctor Gollum]

Deadlock switch in motor failing...

Why not just say there is an easier alternative to removing the panel with the door closed. Then agree with it saying it's a long term fix

[Doctor Gollum]

Because that would have been as much use as a dry sponge in a microwave...
