Passenger Door won't open suspect GM5 module

Post by Pedros » Tue Nov 20, 2018 6:39 pm

My 2004 Z4 3.0 central locking is playing up intermittently and I can't open the passenger door with the key fob. I can unlock the drivers door with the key but it won't open the passenger door - I believe it's probably the GM5 module which I'm going to get tested and hopefully repaired - But in the meantime does anyone know of any other way to manually open the passenger door ???

Cheers - Pedros

By pulling the interior door handle as if you were opening the door usually unlocks it

AHHHH Success - I just sat got in it, started it up and pressed the central locking button rapidly about 20 times and the passenger door suddenly unlocked.

Still believe its a problem with the GM5 unit so i'll take it out and get it tested.

Sent GM5 unit to qer ltd on eBay (Seller 9727) for repair - Great service for only £ 35 got it back in a few days and so far looks like its fixed the problem.

Well pleased
