2021 update.
A wierd thing happens when you have used a key previously on the doors. I find if i have used a key on passenger side then only drive side will open. So try openening WITH KEY the passenger side door... Then have driver side also OPEN WITH KEY.... then try your locks now. May work with remote this time. Its a wierd quirk I found. Good luck. This is truthseekers666 by the way.


Also the remote fobs will die after about 6months. I think moisture in your pocket does it. However you can buy another kit for £10 with 2 new fobs and press the button on your alarm thing in the door to reprogram and your away... so still very much worth doing.


UPDATE: Some people have said they are having problems with this method so heres some added advice on troubleshooting wiring problems down deeper in the door hinge area:


No ideas sorry, unless its the following. Perhaps there is a deeper wiring issue at play with your car which is causing problems. For example in the door harness where it goes through from the door near the hinges to the bodywork of the car - because these wires are being bent and flexed every time the door opens and closes like any piece of metal they suffer fatigue and will snap. Visibly they may look ok from outside in the plastic but internally the wires may be gone. In this case these wires have stopped my windows opening and closing and the doors opening and closing. To fault find these you have to peel back the ruibber ribbed plastic hose to expse the wires inside and you have to either visually inspect wires that might have snapped or if they look intact you need to feel along them to see if you can feel the breaks inside. Failing that you can unspin the large connector on the bodywork and the pins are then exposed and with a multimeter and a needle to penetrate the wire further along make sure every wire is making contact. I found no less than 4 wires gone in my drivers door! Passenger doors being used less suffer less with this problem so I would start on the drivers door side first. Any wires found inside here which are obviously broken need to have the wire stripped back and soldered on. Do not just twist the wires together as a permanent fix as this will not last! Once soldered my advice would be if everything is then working to cover the soldered wires with SELF AMALGAMATING TAPE which is applied through a special method of stretching (WATCH YOUTUBE VIDEOS ON HOW TO USE SELF AMALGAMATING TAPE!!!!). This tape is impervious to weather and moisture so is very good. Hopefully the problem is just in the wiring somewhere. I know it can be daunting to take this on and I know I have to psyche myself up to do this repair when the solders break off again 6 months later but when you have found the problem and fixed it it is a joy to have working door locks and opening and closing windows! It s a real confined space to work in too so soldering skills and some tools like a locking forceps came in very handy for holding thinsg when I needed my hands free. Good luck.
