Hi Damian, many thanks for making this excellent video. If I had not watched your video, and had not marked the plastic bracket locations, etc., as you suggested in the video, I probably would have broken some of those brackets. After watching your video, I was able to remove the door panel without damaging it, and to perform the lock/latch replacement (with a lot of guidance from your door lock/latch video), and now my passenger side window operates perfectly! Thank you so much for producing these invaluable videos!!!! You rock!!!!!

Hi Damian! I purchased a Module on ebay. Part # LJA2120AG/xxx . 100.00 dollars to my door. The part is returnable. I did not want to rip the other door apart. This has been a real ordeal, but after 55 years of car collecting, I am getting better at it. Ill just hang in there! Thank-you for getting back! Ill let you know what is next. Fingers Crossed!

@@ODRModurol I was defeated by the plastic cap in the door handle, my fine screwdrivers were not enough to flip it out, just can't get the angle I need on it, even with bending one especially. That little cap will not come out and I started to just make a mess of it. At least I know the card has never been removed before.

Hello Damian! Hope you are well. Here is an update. I had my mechanic install the used switch. It did the EXACT thing the original switch did. I am completely out of steam on this dilemma. I left the door panel off. We are now thinking it is the door module. I can get a used one for about 100.00 on ebay. Really don't know what to do. Decided to run it by you. Thanks for reading! PS. Another 300.00 in labor and still, no go!

Ben, Do not know what to say. You really aren't having any luck with your door. To be honest I am all out of ideas without seeing the car myself. At this point it would be good to swop out with a know working module ideally from a fellow owner rather than buying one. Otherwise, you may keep spending more and more money. Sorry I know that might not be possible for you, regards Damian

Hi there. Are you able to advise if it is possible to replace the central arm rest panel in the door card when it’s removed or it’s sealed and never coming off. I ask as mine could certainly do with some form of retrim and it’s either fix the old if at all possible or purchase some off ebay or somewhere? Thanks
@ODRModurol3 жыл бұрын
Phil, yes the arm rest is a separate part and can be removed by unscrewing the four screws (with large gold washers). This has to be sone from this inside after the door card is removed.

@@ODRModurol yes I can access drivers side, unlock drivers door with fob ... Hear the actuator going and cycling the handle on the drivers side about 5 times ,... think the car is trying to unlock passenger side too but no movement on the deadlock ( inside passenger door handle stays depressed still) when I listen to the passenger door there is only a small click and no motor/actuator function. I think one of the micro switches has been displaced or has failed as the same problem is described a little on the jaguar forums. Pulling the handle inside or out has no effect (deadlocked) so my plan is to remove the door card as much as possible with the door still closed and then try to get the door open so I can access the mechanism. Any idea what I would need to target to manually open the door with the door card half off... I assume I'd be aiming for the latch somehow. I will watch your door microswitch video again too(answer probably there). Thanks for the time put into these videos I'm sure many xk8 owners will find them invaluable.

Update... Tried to unlock in the cold and boom heard he passenger actuator activate sweetly and the door unlocked. A relief as I would of had to half destroy the door card to get access. One other thing I did notice was that the window wouldn't go down when the door was deadlocked. Now all is fine but I'm not going to lock her back up so I can be sure to have a look at the micro switches first. I hadn't driven the car for a few days so possible that the bat was slightly low.... Any ideas what's going on? I've seen a few of these on the forum and it always seems to be either the battery or a micro switch.

Strange to call it a door 'card'. Surely it's a door panel?
@ODRModurol3 жыл бұрын
Lesley, Its a bit of a technical, industry and historical explanation. I believe the original flat door interior linings were just fabric or plastic covered boards. Possibly made from compressed card hence the name 'door card'. Now the lining are a bit more complex but essentially still fabric cover compressed card. The door panel is normally referred to as the metal inner and outer skin components. It's not the normal definitions but what has commonly used in the automotive industry. Interesting you brought that up as I forgot that this might make sense to everyone. Thank you very much for your input. If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask, regard Damian
