1a auto shows you how to repair install fix change or replace a broken or snapped power door lock actuator.
Mini cooper passenger door won t open with central locking.
This 2004 mini cooper came to me with a central locking fault and this is a video of what i found.
You can get all the passenger doors open this way until you decide to change central lock system.
If all this is working fully secure the actuator to the door by tightening the torx screws to hand tight about 14 lb ft torque.
But if you have locked your keys in the car the car lockout is much worse than a traditional car lockout.
Within 30 seconds of removing the key press and hold the lock and unlock buttons at the same time the mini button in the middle is the lock button and the button nearest the key blade is the unlock button.
As a result the car door won t open from inside or outside.
Any suggestions for this.
1st wind the glass down and turn the key in the driver door twice in clockwise direction to lock at the sound of the second click try try opening the door thru the window passenger manually.
Pull the interior handle once to see if it unlocks the door.
Use the push rod to lock the door.

Mini cooper central locking locks doors but wont open.
As long as your key works this won t be an issue.
From what i have seen it seams to be a lubrication issue.
You will need to pull the knob twice before it opens.
The boot will lock and unlock but both passanger and drivers door wont.
Try putting your finger on the lock pin and see if you can feel the motor trying to move if it is then lubrication is what it needs though.
Any suggestions for this.
The boot will lock and unlock but both passanger and drivers door wont.
The second pull should then open the door.
Mini cooper 2004 have the key fob reprogrammed by the dealer first and see if that fixes the issue.
