Maybe I'll fix it some more later for you. It was hard enough getting red!

My rear left door has also now been locked for 2 weeks and there is no way to open it. Has anyone had any success other than taking it back to the dealer for repair?

Hi M8..and Welcome..
I have heard mention of squirting a bit of WD40 or CRC into the lock if you can get at it.. but it is a component failure needing dealer attention. One of the more common ones but many never have a problem.. :cool:

I take it this is when you are trying to open from the outside?
If not and it is when you are trying to open from the inside then the child lock is on. Need to open from outside and alter the child lock settings.

has anyone got it fixed or had to fix it themselves,
if it is a common fault, i am surprised there is no info on the fix?

The 1st post on this was nov 2008,

I think the offending part is called an Actuator (a type of electric Solenoid) that locks and unlocks the doors.. My rear hatch refused to open a couple of times on my previous CRDi but as it was intermittent fault I never got around to taking it to the dealer.. Several of our members have had that part replaced but I don't have any other details sorry.
Must have been mentioned in other threads :idea:

It seems to be one of the very few common faults on the Korean built i30..
Mazdas used to be very bad for electric window problems and I believe that Nissan Tiidas had a problem with their electric windows too but "touch wood" the i30 seems good in that department :D
