Help!
My 2007 sport had a flat battery. Had to take lock cover from passenger door and manually open it. On shutting door, noticed it wouldn't latch! On further investigation, realised latch had dropped inside door panel! 2 screws on drive floor ( no idea where third one is!) took door card off then realised that I could manage to get latch in position and secure with screws without getting behind door card!
Put battery on charge and locked door manually, job done.
Went to replace battery and cannot get in through passenger door manually. Key turns but door will not unlock! Is this cause door card is off but can't see why.
However, anybody got any ideas how can get in my car without breaking windows?!!!

If you have tow electrics you could power car up thru white socket
To allow unlock of car.

No tow bar! ☹️

Had a similar issue with a friends Audi a while back. Had to connect a spare battery via jump leads to the pos on the starter motor and neg to chassis. Then unlocked on the fob. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

How does that work? Would it be ok on RR?

Your issue may be getting to the pos cable.

I haven’t got my wiring diagrams handy but I’d imagine the RRS is no different to normal. The car positive is connected direct to the car battery so it’s almost like attaching jumpers direct to it. The starter won’t run unless it’s knackered as it needs an ignition live to the solenoid to move the pinion into line with the ring and then the motor would run. So no ignition, no starter run.

Hopefully one of the gurus will chip in and agree or disagree. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

Just had an after thought, if you can, you could remove the cable off the starter and that way it’s isolated. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

AA just been. Air bladders in top of door. Pumped out and fishing tackle to unlock internal handle. Deadlocked!😭😭😭

If you run out of options, try the above as you’ve nothing to lose by trying. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

no issue connecting direct to the starter.


pain if the metal under tray is fitted.

Decided to have another look yesterday after need to move car off drive for work being done on house. Fiddled with lock again and eventually it opened! Put battery back and moved it. This morning, went to move it back, started it, raised suspension from access height but front raised and before the rear could follow, warning came on dash 'front passenger door open' so checked door and it was closed! So now, I have a car that looks like it's doing a Whèely!
I guess it a sensor or switch somewhere in door mechanism? Anybody know where to squirt my switch cleaner?

Open and close the door a few times, also leave it open for 10 minutes, just to see if it may release a sticky switch. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)

switch is in the latch

Disconnect the battery & leave it for a while. Everything should reset back to default settings.

Recently my car locked up while the key was in the ignition, by using small airbags the car was opened by the friendly folks of the Dutch ANWB.
