Passenger Door Not Locking - anyone else had this issue?
Discussion
On Monday I drove to Sydney (300 + Kms) to get my 2008 DB9 serviced.
Trivetts did a good job and fixed up the door jambs, the headlight levelling issue and serviced the vehicle. Happy with the work. Oh and they changed the battery - apparently it was holding charge but the CCA were very low. They suggested that other issues and gremlins were likely caused by the battery and the only reason it lasted was because I was diligent in using the trickle charger when the car was not in use.
The only issue that they didn't fix up, that i hoped they would sort was the passenger door lock issue. Essentially the passenger door doesn't lock. I think I didn't explain the issue well enough. At times the door locks would bounce locked then unlock. Other times the vehicle would seem to lock but a pull of the passenger door handle confirms that the car is unlocked. The drivers side locks fine.
When i purchased the car I changed the door strikers as they had some very small surface rust on them. I am pretty sure they're all lined up properly, sometimes it locks, sometimes not. Anyone else had this issue?

Hi - I have exactly the same problem on a 2007 DB9 - the car appears to lock on the remote but my drivers door does not actually lock and if the handle is tried, the alarm triggers and door can be opened.
With mine the key can be used to physically lock the door after the alarm is activated so at least it is secure.
Searching previous posts it appears likely to be a door module malfunctioning but this is a guess from me as I am very much on the consumer rather than the engineer side..
I have the ‘AM Plus’ warranty which I have to say has covered 100% of the problems so far with my car - but we will see with this one!
Hope you get yours sorted out.
I had this recently.
It can be caused by opening the driver's door with the engine running. In my case, I was checking the oil.
The cure is to flick the lock switch next to the gear lever backwards and forwards.
My passenger door has been fine since I did this.
The more worrying thing is how long it takes to notice it hasn't locked in the first place.

I had same issue. Door locks were replaced (by Trivett’s..). Problem solved.My v8v 2006 has started do this unlocks via remote but drivers door will not lock so use the key and press lock button on the remote which should enable the deadlock to work but I am going to try the centre consol lock/unlock button before I check the warrenty which I think should cover it.
