Door problem

Post by Andysbeemer1960 » Sat Feb 09, 2019 5:58 pm

Hello. I have a 2004 e53 and it’s nearside front passenger door will not open from the outside and inside, the locking button raises and falls as you would expect in normal operation. I don’t see how you can remove the internal door panel without opening the door, I’ve been told it may be a fuse problem, any help/ advice most welcome, thank you . Happy to be sent info to the following e.mail.. Andrew-peplow@ sky.com

Yep that's the method. I had to do my driver door twice a few years ago and I still keep the 'tool' in the glove box just in case.
