Every post pertaining to this particular subject matter, varies a little, allow me to post the specifics of my issue.

2011 Freelander 2 / LR2 / L359 / 3.2L DOHC MPI Petrol I6

Just recently, I can no longer unlock, or open, from neither inside nor outside, the Drivers side, REAR door, (the door directly behind the Drivers door).

As seen in the pictures, the physical lock, (A), can not be moved, it is frozen in locked position, (in).

And if I use either dash buttons, (B, C), you can hear that there is still the same mechanical sound as always inside that door, as though you should be seeing it open and lock, but it just isn't doing anything.

The window works on that door, and all other doors on the vehicle still work perfectly, just not that one.

Without being able to open the door at all, one wonders how any repair could even be implemented.

 

Those tend to fail, you can replace the lock module yourself, IIRC it's not very hard to DIY but I'd google some videos to be sure.

 

Did you try double locking the doors with the remote and then opening with remote again?

 

Just for posterity, have you tried to open the door with the physical key?

 

The physical key only works on the driver's door, correct?

 

How does this gentleman remove the door panel to even get to the lock module if the door will not open?
