BMW E90 Door Lock Actuator Repair

[@ubaldc]

My F30 locks both needed replacing due to slow actuation. Either way, I always learn from this channel and truly am impressed with your ability to educate.

[@davidnesmith5339]

Very helpful. Thank you. I was stuck not knowing how to remove push button key lock. You saved me. Just one little screw and it came right off. Not a lot of videos on driver side door. But this one has all the info you will need.

[@gbalstad]

Looking good and healthy! Thanks for another great video!

[@knowlesb8]

Just wanted to say thank you for all your videos, its your CCV video ( manifold removal) that gave me the confidence to change mine , I watched your video in its entirety twice and referred to many times while doing the job , I find all your tutorials really well done and massively helpful, I do all my own work on my E46 3.0 and your vids are always the place I go, many thanks for taking the time to do them much appreciated 🍻

Hi man love your videos, id just want to add on. I had tried to troubleshoot an error with the door lock actuators on an e90 in the past where all the mechanisms in them were fine and lubricate well. The only problem was needing to replace one of the motors inside the actuator to open the door as it seemed to have a dead short from arcing inside the motor. This is sometimes a problem I feel with some of these mechanisms as well and the motors are generic as you can just solder a new one in with its gear pressed on. Once again thank you for your videos over the years you got me into the deep understanding of the e46 and I just want to say thank for that hey.

Very helpful series of videos! Thank you! I'm sure most if not all of us with keeper E9x's, E82's, and similar platforms will eventually find ourselves needing this repair. I've already saved this in my BMW DIY playlist for future reference. I would love to know the whereabouts of that wondrous junkyard full of scrapped BMWs you speak of! 😄

Whoow its been a while since I've watched your video on e46. You lost a lot of weight. Good for you brother you look younger. I'll watch your video about your E90 when I sold my e46 and buy my next project e90. 👍

[@utahyork3338]

Does the E90 not have airbags in the doors? You are giving me confidence to move from an E46 to E90. Thanks for taking time to help us all.

[@50sKid]

You know what, I didn’t even realize it didn’t have airbags in the doors.

[@tonycontreras9844]

Yes indeed thank you for your videos, much appreciated, I have a question that I can't seem to find, how do i open a locked driver door on a 2001 525I e60? window's down, panel is kind of opened, but i see nothing to touch or pull or press down to open the door, any Ideas without having to cut open the door panel?

[@davidlo19a]

A couple of years back I replaced my E90 rear right door lock actuator. I went to the parts guy and came back with a F30 door lock. So I looked it up, what guess what, the E90 door lock is discontinued and you CAN use a F30 lock, it's interchangeable. It's a different design, not sure if it's a better design.

[@yazeedsamsodien1]

Now that's helpful 👌

[@codebreacker1996]

O recently Mede the remplace, but the new one doesn’t lock with the key control, which fuse should I remplace?

[@jefflaydon3381]

The link to the door diagnosis goes to a transmission video instead. I am trying to figure out why my Z4 locks will lock but not open up again.

[@joro8604]

F'in' smart to roll down the winda! Thanks for the hard work!

[@justtrynasurvive]

Whats the white bit the exterior door handle clips into? Almost there but need to figure that part out.

[@RIV2L]

Alot of unneccessary actions to remove actuator, but a also a lot of needed info how to remove glass and handle

[@DaveInBridport]

I replaced mine but is the orientation of the manual opening key slot on the bossy of the actuator important? My key doesn't open the door now.

[@kennyk4706]

I have tried 3 new drivers door lock actuators and not 1 of them will lock or unlock with remote. All other doors will. Checked voltage and getting close to 12v at plugin and all fuses are good. Any idea what else it could be?

[@89Jonathanp]

Does the actual key that you take out of the key fob still work

[@isaac_eg8]

So in depth. I love it!

[@martini15racing]

hello, I am very grateful for the videos of the bmw thank you very much, I have a problem with an m54b30 engine, let's see if you can help me... the cold car has cylinder failure 2 and 5 p1350 and p1344. vibrates when cold but it only fails when it's cold when it gets a little hot and it's fine, it also gives me faluts p1650 and p0444 although I don't think it has anything to do with the fault, don't know. thank you very much and sorry for the translator.

[@jacekdzulynski9534]

Great, thanks a lot, helpful. I don't know if was said but no need of removing handle.

[@josedasilva4433]

Excellent video mate

[@dalebob4506]

What model battery gun is that. Seems to have some balls and I want one. Great video!

[@onecookieboy]

Nice DIY, well explained, many thanks.

[@ThunderbirdRocket]

Excellent presentation ! Thanks !

[@JorgeMartinez-di5fk]

En donde tienes tu taller?

[@DjDestinyChicago]

I just did this on my E60. A lot easier and less involved on the E60 for sure.

[@AlecKristi]

the issues I had with my lock actuators were always broken gears... it would just keep cycling up and down whether I'm opening or closing. a friend of mine had an issue with the jbe.

[@fontexstudios]

What did you do yo fix? Complete replace?

[@tomasskucinsks7623]

Thnkas for the guide! Mine doesn't open/lock drivers door when battery is disconnected, this will help to find cause of the problem.

[@lion91355]

great work bro

[@Diffusion8]

Thought I might do this job myself, but after watching this video, I really don't think so... Looks way more involved than I was hoping it would be 😢

[@veyisyasl5062]

Thanks bro 🤙🏼

[@kc2213]

Great video! My car has the same indentation as yours, very strange indeed… 13:25

[@mtamomoo550]

My man 50s kid

[@anthonymoschella859]

There is no need to pull the handle off. Just remove the lock cylinder only.

[@Westhauz]

This is a replacement not a repair ?

[@mamdirar8464]

This is not a repair, it's a replacement.

[@cruzredeyes]

Yep
