2011 Clubman Barn Doors inoperative

This morning, my son was trying to open doors when I was trying to unlock, and now they don't work at all.

I have a 2011 R55 Clubman. Barn Doors will not respond and open. There is no clicks or noises at all, when I try to open doors, and I can't figure out the fuse or relay location. NOR can I find a away to manually open the doors.
Help, please!

Thank you, but I already read through all of the threads. I couldn't find an answer, because the problem is a 'little' different. The lock mechanism isn't even responding electrically like, zero response from the arn doors, at all. I've disconnected the battery, looked at all the fuses, and pressed the fob button a hundred times, etc...no luck. I don't know what else to do. And, I'll say again, I find it unbelievable, that there isn't a manual option from within the car. :/

No response is what happens when the latch fails. Mine did the same thing. Getting the right inner trim off is a 50/50 shot it doesn’t break. The left is a bear. The left one won’t activate till the right is open. I you get the right open manually do yourself a favor and replace both left and latches.

Another item to look at that might be broken is the wiring behind the button on the exterior handle.
If I recall, I had similar symptoms as you, and even replaced the sill latch only to discover a corroded handle wire (driver-side door).
