Passenger door suddenly stopped working
Discussion
Have only pressed it maybe 5 times and did not work. I haven't driven it for well over a month so I plugged the accumate in to top the battery up- it may be down to voltage drop but the drivers door and boot work fine! As the window works, I assume it must be related directly to the solenoid or the wiring to it, I'll do some research on how to access the solenoid and see if I can test it.
I'm sure I read somewhere that the door cards have screws along the bottom holding them on, but I could find no evidence of any screws or fixings on mine (early mk1), is there an easy way to remove the trim?

Can you hear the relay clicking when it tries to fire the solenoid? Check the fuses/relays if you cannot. You won't need to remove the door card as your door button sounds like it works. I had a solenoid kill itself - burn out - a month or so after I bought my Tuscan. Procedure for replacement is here:

Mine did this on my tamora, couldn't open the passenger door from inside or out (electronically). I bought a new solenoid, took the dor mechanism off, and before I changed anything, it started to work again, and has worked ever since!
Am sure that at times, these cars like to play with you!
