e200 not locking

[john43]

i own a 03 e200 and when i press the fob to lock the doors they all lock except for the passenger door also i can only open the boot with the little metal key.anyone ever have this problem and how was it fixed.

Sounds like a new door lock is required, they do go faulty.

it sounds like the door lock is fauly alright,are your number plate bulbs working ?if they are not u have a broken earth wire.the wire breaks on pass side rear boot hinge if you pull back the cover wer the hinge is you'l see a wires

boot not opening

you are absolutely correct about the number plate lights skipperdog.when the weather improves i will investigate.

when the weather improves i will investigate.

Maybe take your car on holiday to the Bahamas then, as it probably won't get much better here than it already is.

skipperdog,
found the wires ok.would you have any idea which colour code is the earth wire.would it be ok to then cut it and earth it elsewhere.
thanks again
