BMW E90 non responsive door lock actuator

[@jordyvaldespino4604]

This video saved me $500!! The mechanic told me all my locks would need to be replaced but I watched this video and took out the fuse replaced it and boom!! All my locks now work thank you!!

[@tamaradidishvili2846]

I have no words to thank you enough. Front door would not unlock and the all other doors would not lock. Replaced fuse 57 and it worked!!!! Finally one informative and to the point video.

[@Koyesul]

Out of all the videos on this issue on YT, this was the best and the most clear explanation, Thanks

[@markkeohane9850]

Thanks so much. Fixed. Getting 57 out required a lot of gymnastics (of course, I couldn't open the front passenger door to make access a bit easier), some swearing and sweating. I certainly didn't find it as easy as you did! But that and the battery disconnect worked and I'm up and running again. Though I think I left the battery disconnected a bit too long and had to reset the clock. Thanks a mill my friend.

[@clickireland1113]

Thank you - replaced fuse and nothing - then did the negative off for 10s: Worked perfect, Appreciate it.

[@No_R3morse]

I replaced 57fuse and nothing. Thanks to your video I disconected the battery and now the lock works as it should. Thanks.

[@PaulThurlow]

Great fix 57 is for driver's door and 58 for the rest of the car. 5 minutes. Much appreciated

[@glyn226]

Many thanks. Had a total failure of all door & truck locks plus ABS warning, No air con, and no speedo all at once. Tried the fuses but all were ok, reset the logic and it fixed everything. Thanks again.

[@janknudsen1320]

Wow! Thanks so much! I was expecting to go to a expensive garage to fix it, but followed your fantastic description, and now it works like a charm! A million thanks :D:D

Thank you so much. You saved my week. I have to go to the office next week so I was worried that my car is unlocked.

[@StevenStoddart]

Clear, concise and VERY effective - thank you for posting this.. it worked like a charm. Apart from when I dropped the fuse extraction tool into the void under the fuse panel 😬

[@Lupo_cb]

Thank you so much. I was about to pay a bmw dealer to basically replace a fuse for 328 bucks 😭😭😭. I never knew a fuse going out would stop the doors and fuel tank from opening. Thank you so much

[@conrado121384]

Thanks, from México. IT worked didnt had to remove, battery nor start the car. Changed the fuse that was broken in visible way, tried the key and IT worked just fine. Thanks a lot.

This video is spot on. Cheers man, saved a lot of time and money. Same issue, fuse #56 and didn't work immediately after replacing had to disconnect the battery also. Thanks for the info!

[@Faroundandfindoutt]

Thank you!!!! Your video worked like a charm. My drivers side door would not unlock. While the other doors would not lock😳. After watching your video and reading a few articles. My husband took your advice and replaced fuse 57. This instantly resolved the problem. Thank you sooo much for this video😊.

Thank you after fuse change didn't know needed a battery reset. Worked like a charm.

[@abhisheksahu311]

Thank you very much for the video...In my car driver side was not automatically unlocked and other 3 doors were not automatically locked.......Just replacing fuse 57 solved the problem even without resetting the battery.. The video is very helpful and saved me from couple of trips to garage..

[@zanetrade]

Thank you so so much I just went to a mechanic shop they told its the actuators and it wasn’t it’s the fuses guys don’t listen mechanics thank you so much I really appreciate it they told me that they will charge $200 for each door just to find the problem I’m so thankful thank you so much again!

[@dominiksedic5112]

Worked like a charm for me and took me only 5 minutes thanks again

[@jasonspark6278]

Thanks mate mine is a 2011 X5 and the blown fuse was 28. Saved $$$. Much appreciated

This vid was perfect... I followed every step and it worked immediately. Much appreciated!!!

[@Kevinj388]

Thank you a million times. My front doors got locked and the rear doors were open so the only way to enter to the car was from the back seat. My metallic key is not working so I need to check that as well but at least I can open it with the remote control. You're awesome

[@hansblaschek7575]

Many, many thanks for posting this. It worked beautifully and saved me a headache.

Thank you - that saved me a day in the garage and probably a few hundred bucks. Made my day. Great one.

[@rickybanzai2199]

Thank you so much from old Europe!!! Your tutorial made me able to solve the problem, exactly as you made, even the system reset disconnecting the battery for 10 seconds. It was a bit tricky because there's few room for hands, light, legs and so on, but I did it!! Very helpful!

[@lee7395]

Thank you, what a nightmare I was having and didn't realize the fuse board had spares.

[@crustybmw]

Bloody Legend Mate I replaced the fuse and they still were not working but the reset did the trick!

[@m.rahman5225]

Thank you for this amazing video. You saved me a lot of trouble and money. May gods bless you!

[@djindoe]

Awesome video, mate! I replaced the fuse but did not think to restart the logic. Great tip! Worked for me.

[@directogzz2463]

Thank you!, it worked great, as in your case, replacing the fuse was not enough, but I started and stop the engine instead of disconnecting the battery and that was enough to make it work.

[@MJ-iv5qp]

Thanks very much, worked a treat! Although how you managed to get that fuse out while holding a torch is beyond me!

[@johngalv9288]

Good video! my 325i only has manual key unlock on driver's door. I guess they were too cheap to do the same for other doors. I need to be a contoursionist to reach the fuses from driver's seat. Very frustrating and this is the 3rd time I'm doing this. Your video is very helpful! thanks. John G

[@Marcier]

AWESOME VIDEO SAVED THE DAY . ur the best bro

[@AMonsLife]

Thank you so much. Just ran through the steps. Worked flawlessly! My difficulty was I could not open the passenger door. Had to contort my body from the driver side. Also removed and reinserted the battery terminal connect caused a little spark.

[@kylejohnson7247]

As with all the other comments, I would like to say THANK YOU! Everything from the spare fuse to the disconnecting the battery before it would work, you were spot on and saved me time and money!

John, thank you for the instructional video. I did exactly what you have shown in the video and it works for my 2006 330i. Thank you. Much appreciated.

Hi John, that Video saved my Day! I have no clue how or what the 29 thumbs down did, but this Video is so amazing as you described everything really easy to understand. I have been around so many BMW Dealers the last Days and none of them had an idea - ridiculous. Great work, wish much more like you would do a HOW TO, great Tutorial again

[@mae9041]

[@olskoolbandito]

Just a thought...before undoing the battery as shown at the end......pop in you key in the ignition socket....start the car....leave for 10 seconds....then switch engine off....get out of car and use the key fob to lock the car...if this doesnt work..then undo battery etc as shown in video...hope this helps you guys...

After a whole day at the mechanic they couldn't figure out the issue with my central locking however, this video combined with this piece of advice and 5mins later, I fixed it myself! Thank goodness for the KZbin community.

[@olskoolbandito]

@@MimiBulkoch Glad I could be of help..👍

[@katbaleu]

Very helpful thank you I have one question though. At one point in the video you talk about a manual that you read that told you specifically what number fuse you need to change. Do you have anyway to link that information so we can see the manual that you looked at to figure out what exact number fuse you need to change? My front Driver side door will not open from the inside or outside. The locks unlock and lock fine but only the driver side door won’t open when pulling on the handle. So I’m trying to figure out which fuse I need to change for that. My fuse map looks just like yours.

[@baberhussain3948]

Hi great video good information you gave I have checked all my fuses they are all good no blown fuses any idea what it could still be I would really appreciate it if you know and could tell me what the problem still might be thanks

[@svetlinbarzev9110]

Thank you for the video! My car keeps blowing this fuse in a few days after replacing it. In my case, when I replace it, I don't need to disconnect the battery, it works fine, but it last a few days.. Only rear left stays locked with the fuse replaced. Can it be the reason for the fuse to keep blowing?

[@77jpresley]

I had the same issue this morning and was running low on gas. Thanks again.

[@sadikkaduji1612]

THANK YOU YOUR VIDEO HELPED ME A LOT IT FIXED MY CAR PROBLEM

[@andy-maier]

Thanks! Starting the engine and powering off also worked after replacing the fuse.. worth a shot before doing the battery unplug

[@arieanker1500]

Hi there, This also worked for me , but it's not easy to reach the fuses. for my 320 it was a other fuse number but they are located on the sam location of the ones in the movie. I had to replace both of the fuses to make it work. Before i removed the fuses i went to my BMW dealer to ask them to have a look , they checked my key and they responded that in my key the error was that one of my locks should be replaced but they only could say wich lock after they did a full computer check of the car . but i had to make an appointment to do the check. I had mentioned that i thought that it might be a fuse but they told me that it was a lock or something else but no fuse. I'm very happy that i checked it myself otherwise i had to pay 250 euros minimum to fix the problem and now i was completely carefree for under 2 euros !

[@johnarradaza2674]

Glad to know it helped you and thanks for sharing your experience of replacing two fuses, it might help another owner in the future. Cheers!

Thank you very much John as your video solved my issue. You are truly a wealth of information!!

Thanks for posting, well done, you are a good teacher. This has just helped me out. 👏👏👏👏

[@Bmwguy2011]

Hi, great video! I have an e91 2006 and the key fob stopped opening the doors. I bought a new key at the dealer and it doesn’t work either. The central locking system works fine, but manually. The dealer wants to do a full diagnostic on this and hinted that it could need an antenna. That’s hundreds of dollars. Could I just need this resetting or the diversity amplifier? Do you Know which fuse number to replace for door lock actuators with remotes? My door lock actuators work fine, just not responding to the remote. It does not have comfort access.

[@johnarradaza2674]

Jonathan Reed I am sorry that I have no other info to offer other than what I stated in the video. I have come to that by checking out BMW forums and many other websites before trying it on my car which fortunately worked so I documented it. If it doesn't work for others there could be many factors at work which I will not be in the position to comment on.

[@Faithisflyyy]

Did you by chance get this solved yet?

[@RFxMattsson]

Did u fix it i have THE same problem

[@ivanpataroyo]

Thanks for the video, in my case the one which is not working is only the passengers door actuator. Do you know which fuse number should I check?

[@ivanpataroyo]

I checked them all but none of them is blown I guess I will have to change door actuator

[@mutlucan7549]

Great Vid.... I got the same prob. I checked the fuses related with the prob and found that all were good. Should i still remove one of the terminals of the batteries and try to reset the logic? Would that work?

[@erey02126]

I have to say thank you so much I'm glad people like you put these videos up because I love DIY for one but, I also love my BMW baby! I definitely just spent a a good $1,200 and total for a recent alternator and battery replacement as well as new ball joints and front thrust bushings smh!! But just to know that my door locks not opening only contributed to a blown fuse!? which I thought of but I also thought to go to a mechanic silly me! Thank you. I fixed it in less than a minute!
