Passengers door now deadlocked

[Jimmys1968]

Hi guys the passenger door is now deadlocked and can't open it with door handle inside or outside and the key fob. Anyone had the same problem and any idea of how I can get it open as I need to get the doorcard and trim panel of to check the wiring connection's.
Thanks
Jim

I had it mate. Short story £1000 later Audi main dealer got the door open by prying off the door card. Releasing the lock and then replacing it all including a new loom.

Hopefully you have better luck.

Not the answer I as looking for lol will have to see if I can get the doorcard off myself. Unless it decides to start working like it did two days ago. Worked for about a day locked and unlocked fine then locked the door on Monday night and wouldn't open on Tuesday morning

That still sounds like a wiring issue ,have you unplugged the rear door loom and put a meter on each end to check for damage to the wire cores.

Yeah I've checked all the other wiring to all the other doors and all are fine. Just can't get the passenger's door open to check the wiring loom from the bottom of the A pillar into the door. I know that the wires get cracked and brake in the door just cant check

If you do manage to get it open check the block on the end that goes through the bung in the door. That was the main issue with mine. Corrosion had destroyed it.

Thanks. That's what I was thinking myself. Heard a lot of bad reports about the wiring going from the car into the door wish me luck

Think this is going to be expensive

Quick update to the saga. Have had the doorcard off the drivers side and all well with the wiring for that side with no broken wires. Have managed to get the passenger's side kick plate off in the passenger's footwell and managed to check the wiring connection's and wiring to the door post connection and their all fine. Now the hard bit to get the doorcard off to check the wiring loom to the passenger's door electrical control unit as I think it's the control unit that's going to be replaced.
