Passenger Door not Locking with Fob

[nikjam]

Hi All,

New to Fiats and can't find the exact answer so thought I'd ask myself....

Both of the back doors have to have a little push at the top of the door when you pull the handle to open them. Is this ususal??

Secondly....my passenger door won't open or lock with the central locking fob....all of the other doors do...can someone help?

Thanks...looking forward to hearing what you think...

The back doors are generally a well known horrific design flaw in every part of them. To be honest, make the most of them while they operate normally i.e. still open. I've added a few washers to the bolt to stop it catching but it's still not perfect, so don't worry, you're not alone. Could always try replacing the mechanism which isn't too expensive to do (and a lovely guide to complement it).

For your second problem, I believe again it's a well known issue but I've not experienced it, so I'll leave someone else to point you in the right direction instead of guessing
