Does anyone have a clue as to why only the driver door locks on the key fob and not the passenger side?? Puzzled!

Mistress......lock your drivers door 3 times with the key in the door....that means you have to turn it.....in the hole....then try and lock with fob...all should work again.....if not...key battery may be on it's way out or central locking module on way out....i'd try the key in door bit first...

What year is your 9?

The reasons I ask is that I had the same problem with my 56 plate and it ended up having to have the mechanism replaced insde the door. This was after it had been in the dealer twice for reflashing of the control unit. Happy to say, no probs since :fingerscrossedsmiley: smile

It is 06 plate, it went into Lancaster last year, they said they fixed it but it still is happening. J

I discovered the same fault on my 05 DB9 last month and it turned out to be a faulty passenger door latch, which cost £471 to replace. I'm sure it has been failing to lock for a worryingly long time.

Thanks for that Icon, I will add it to the list for Rick in Derby to deal with !

also close your eyes, click your heels together 3 times and say "i wish I was back in Kansas.....I wish I was back in Kansas" that sometimes works

A bump to this thread to keep related questions in the same thread..

09 DB9 Passenger door won't lock. I can hear the lock "clunk" (technical term) when I press the key fob, but door doesn't lock. Any chance this is just a 99 cent/p part that I can replace myself? Or is it a window out whole door lock get it done by a dealer thing..

Could be faulty door module or latch? I know a good independent dealer in the north west if your ever up that way. They will probably diagnose cheaply or possibly free of charge 😊

I would suggest you change both door modules while you are at it. If you don't the second one will fail before too long as happened on my 2005 DB9 and my son''s 2006 V8V. They are low quality, short life, parts manufactured in Spain, I understand, which have since been replaced by better door lock modules.

Thanks brakedwell, that was the dealers recommendation also
