The secure of the pilot door sometimes doesn´t open, help!!!

Hi,

I need all your help in this, more or less strange.

I did a repro to my Mini (because I have some mods installed) and that day everything excellent with the both secures/actuators of the doors, then the next day I needed to dissconect a little bit the battery, well after that the secure of my door (pilot) sometimes (almost all the times) doesn´t up to open the door with the controll key, so I need to open it with the Key, but with the controll key always down the secure to close the door.

The very strange thing is when the Mini is moving then the actuator of my door (pilot) doesn´t down, only the one of the copilot and this is always.

So do u think this is something for the repro in the Ecu? or is just simple the actuator of the door and I need to change it ??, becasue I don´t want to spend some money to change it and then see that it wasn´t the actuator.

Please tell me, really you will help me a lot.

Mario

Mario,

Does the electronic switch inside lock and unlock the pilot door? If it does then you can probly rule out the actuator, although I have never dealt with this myself. Also, Have you checked the battery in the key? Simple, but it is always a possibility. And it is always a good idea to go through and check your fuses as well. 9 times out of ten, electrical issues are caused by a blown out fuse.

Sorry I thought I had replied to this... I bet it is the actuator then. Makes sense. Good luck Mario
