Central locking problem

[Markus]

When I came down to my car the other day I noticed the right side rear door lock (it's a Brava) didn't open with the rest when I pressed the remote. The door can't be opened from the outside, or the inside for that matter. All the other locks work fine on central locking.

Anyone know what could be causing this? Easy to fix DIY-style, or will I have to take it somewhere?

Thanks!

Can you pull the pin up inside then open the door?

Sounds like one of the rods has come off inside the door. Take the trim off and have a look, should be pretty easy to spot....

Nope, it's stuck solid. No matter what I do it won't come up. Next plan is to take off the doortrim and take a look around, although I have no idea what I'm looking for...

If the pins stuck down then thats why the doors not opening at all. Could be the rod that pushes it up and down is caught or come off. When you take the trim off you'll see the rods... Running from the outer and inner handles and up to the pin. If any of them are not moving freely then it'll jam them all.....

Sorry if that sounds confusing... Hope it helps tho.. Good luck!!
