Hi Folks,

Been away for a while and a bit slack on the Cerb front. Anyway, inspired this week to get things going again and fit my new alarm and immobiliser and refit the refurbished doors module back in again. But in the past few months I have had a bit of a mishap...

I kept all the latches covered but must have forgot the passenger door as its been pushed closed on the latch and so I cant open it again. I have no power to the buttons with the module not being fitted so am a bit stuck!

The door panel is off and the window is currently down. I can get the window up if required. Also am in the car from the drivers side.

I don't believe there is the @same way of opening" as the drivers side? So is there a way I can easily get this door open please?

Here's hoping!

Cheers
Dave

Surely you can use the manual release lever on the floor? Assuming you're either in the car or leaning through the window.

Even worse I was all for stripping the door down and seeing if I could remove the catch! DOH!!!

If the passenger cable doesn't work (some seize up if not regularly tested) there is another way you can open the doors without power I found while fixing various door/window faults. PM if you need to.
