Seat Altea '05 - Central locking does not open the passenger door

Hello

The car is Seat Altea 2005. The central locking works, all doors close, but the passenger door does not open, you have to manually pull the handle from the inside to open it. Later with the remote control, it normally closes all doors, the problem is only with the one passenger door that it does not open, the rest works. When I press a button on the remote opening once - you can hear the reaction in all the doors and in those from the passenger you can also hear the reaction but only the driver's door opens because it is supposed to be like this - only after pressing the button on the remote control for the second time all the doors open you can hear the reaction in all the doors the second time and in these can't hear anymore! and they will not open (the button in the middle next to the gear lever also works like that and will not open either) only the passenger door does not open! the rest of the doors open and close normally every time. Anyone have any idea how to open this door?

I join the topic. It's been the same for me for two days.

I had the same with a patient. Demolition of the door, removing the module and soldering it (originally, the pins in the board are pressed in without solder).

Has anyone dealt with this problem? Mine is the same, I can only open the door with the handle from the inside. Once opened, they work fine

Have you done what I wrote above?

Hello,



I have a problem with Altea 06r. I give the door to close, it closes all except the passenger, the opening works there because there is a sound, but it does not close anymore. please help what could be wrong??????

Hello

I have a similar problem:
After pressing the remote control, the right front door and the left rear door open from the outside and the driver's door is opened with the key, while the left rear door is opened only with the handle from the inside. This summer was not a problem. I disassembled and cleaned the lock twice and it was quiet for some time. Polonez15 wrote about soldering the contacts, but in my castle everything is flooded with resin, unless it is about another module.

Please help.

Window motor module. The locks, as you have noticed, are rightly protected against "childhood" errors.

Thanks, I didn't think these components were connected to each other. If the conditions are good tomorrow, I will get to this module and solder the pins and describe the repair effect.
Regards.

Today I removed the module at the window lift motor and soldered the pins but it did nothing, the lock works the same. The lock needs to be replaced.

After replacing the lock in the driver's door, it's ok. I have the lock in the rear right door to repair. Of course, I will start with a cheaper solution - soldering the pins in the module. At the driver's door, soldering did not help, but similar faults may have other causes.

The weather improved so I bought a French replacement, after shortening the cable and reworking the cable cover fastening I replaced the lock in the rear door and now it works properly.

It fixed itself!!!! . Winter and summer passed and the door works. )))

Hello, I have the same problem. I replaced it with another used lock but the problem did not disappear, the lock works sometimes and sometimes it does not work. I have a question if the lock is related to lowering the window because when the lock does not work, the window does not work either. The doors don't open at all. Maybe it's not the lock's fault but some connection?

Wires in the grommet or window motor for soldering.

I had a similar problem, it turned out to be solved almost without cost. You have to remove the lock and disassemble it. The fault is caused by a dirty motor commutator. To get to it, you first need to unscrew the plug and the rest of the screws holding the metal and plastic parts. Probably 4 stars in total. Despite the unscrewing, the lock mechanism still holds with the motor mechanism, you need to gently pull off 2 cables with the srobokernt. Once the plastic part is unscrewed. The plastic feels glued together, but it can be pulled apart. There is a gearbox and 2 motors inside. The larger one is responsible for opening and closing only from the outside. It needs to be undressed. Fold back the plaques. Clean the commutator. I use fine sandpaper. Then fold. The correct fastening of the tendons when folding is ensured by the through holes and, for example, a star screwdriver. Unfortunately, I couldn't take pictures.

The most common problem with these locks, as "kida5" wrote above, is a dirty commutator in the motor that controls the lock (there are two motors). Due to the tightness of the structure, with normal wear of the brushes, dirt is formed on the commutator which "immobilizes" the motors controlling the lock. Below are some photos that should help you fix the broken lock.
The greatest difficulty can be splitting the lock. You need to disassemble the gray casing, under which you will see the characteristic green element of the lock. A plastic latch is inserted into this element, which must be gently pulled out. The second is white. I used a flathead screwdriver and tiny pliers to split them in half. When you split the lock, just unscrew the electrical part. Pull out the motors (they are press fit), dismantle them and clean them.
Unfortunately, the photos were taken with a phone and are not of the best quality.

Hello,

I had the same as the previous speakers wrote. The passenger door from the outside and the door behind the driver SEAT LEON_2 from 2009, 1.6 MPI BIFUEL did not open for me. The pilot closed the door nicely but could not open the door. It was easy to open from the inside with a lever. After 2 weeks, the door from the driver's remote control stopped opening, occasionally it was possible to open it, it was generally necessary to open it with the key. Result - 3 doors do not fully work.

I drove up to the "mechanic" who said that you need to buy a replacement lock and change the locks. A replacement lock is about PLN 180.00 if you get it x 3 locks = PLN 540.00 and he wanted PLN 130.00 x 3 pcs = 390 for the translation.

To sum up, the amount grew to PLN 930.00, until I couldn't catch my breath.
Thanks to the courtesy of my colleagues above - the electrodes and the seat forum took me a whole day to repair where everything works as it should.

Cause dirty commutator of the motor of the "big" one that opens , the contact was just too weak and he didn't have the strength to move the gears. Before and after cleaning, I checked it with a 9V power supply, it was spinning like crazy!
I already know these locks by heart, so let's skip the mechanics' putty ......... PS The original is the original, the replacement is the last resort!

Such a note, all this must be done calmly at the table with good light and tools. Not on the knee and in 10 minutes.
