my door won't unlock and sometimes won't lock.

So this just occurred, I noticed when driving home that my passenger door wasn’t locked. I have the settings in my car set to auto lock the doors once the car starts to move, I thought it was weird but just kept driving home. When I got home I went to lock my car for the night and I noticed it locked then unlocked then locked again kinda like 1,2,1 and I checked the passenger door and it wasn’t locked. Checked the fuses I’ve got one 15 amp and one 20 amp I pulled both out but they looked intact. Could this be caused by a short, bad actuator or blown fuse? (If it was a fuse though, wouldn’t both the drivers and passenger doors not lock and unlock?) Tried using the central locking button and the key fob as well as the easy access or what ever bmw calls it. Much appreciated.

it seem to me that you have a bad actuator because i notice that you can lock and unlock tha car from the passanger side so the keyless antena is working just the actuator is not. there is another method to try out. change the battery from key fob?!?

Definitely your actuator is broken. Grab one from a breakers yard and put it in then you’re sorted mate.

Actuators are pretty common. It’s an easy job takes less than 15 minutes. Front doors require removal of the regulator as well.
