My windows/sunroof still go down and the passenger side locks/unlocks but the driver side won't lock/unlock using keyless. I can still lock it up with the key though.
Anyone encounter this before?

 

ask andy

 

yes this happened to my 2003 (May build) MINI Cooper. Driver's side door wouldn't open with keyless and it wouldn't open with the toggle switch. Only opened if you actually used the key in the lock.

brought it to dealer, they said it needed a new lock actuator or something... the small motor inside the door that actually turns the lock was inoperative. Replaced under warranty.

rock on,

Mine's doing the same thing. I need to bring it in to the dealership for some warranty work. I checked the price of the lock actuator and it's not too expensive (under $100) but may as well let warranty cover it.

 

That is what I figured.
Good thing I'm headed to the dealer Friday anyways to get my rain sensors worked on. I'll add this to the slipping clutch while I'm there......

Still love the car though.
