#134 of 136 Re: Rear Door Locks Not Opening [nissmazlover] by vasselle Aug 18, 2009 (7:37 am)
Replying to: nissmazlover (Aug 30, 2007 11:27 am) For all the people who posted about the rear door locks not opening, can you report on your progress? I have a Mazda5 2006 year model and it does the same thing with the passenger side door. It will not open with the remote, but will open when you push on the inside front door unlock button. We have our car at Mazda today and they have said it has nothing to do with the recall that went out a couple of times. My worry, like someone else who posted, is that if we are ever in an accident and need to get the kids out quickly, the door lock may prevent us from getting in. I expressed this to the Mazda tech on the phone. He said the only thing he can do is take off the door cover and lock assembly and have a look (for $150). When I asked if this was a common occurance he said no, but that he had seen it before. He said his only guess on cost to fix is anywhere from $150-600, but he could not be sure until he actually looked at the lock.   If enough people have had the same problem, I can document this and then take it to Mazda (to perhaps order a recall and fix at their expense). Is this not covered under standard 3-year warranty??

Replying to: vasselle (Aug 18, 2009 7:37 am) Mine still does it every now and then. And frankly, I only use the door rarely now. It's the right rear slider that's the issue.   I pulled some work orders:   In June 2007 they replaced to rear door latches - a recall. That didn't fix the door lock issue.   In Nov 2007 they did this: (Quoted from the service invoice) "20614 BCM and door lock switches need DW Found door lock switches not working, performed diagnosis, checked wire 5I from BCM and no signal found, replaced BCM and found signal from BCM blue wire, but lock not working,further diagnose and found both left and right switch internal malfunction, removed from switch from stock unit and installed in customers per customer satisfaction, found door lock working properly after repairs"   Hope that helps. My car has a new intermittent bug. None of the windows will go down. Switch becomes dead. A good wack to the drivers armrest and it works. I'm guessing a loose wire or connection.
