I have had a 2008 I30 Comfort for just over a year with no problem or faults until this.
Unlocked the car using central locking and all the doors unlock except the rear left passenger door.
I have open the central locking mechanism manually (feels a bit limp) but door still wont open from inside or either. I have tried pulling the door leaver while pressing the central locking key to unlock but no luck either.
I can see the central locking mechanism move/flinch when i press the central locking fob or button in the car but there doesnt seem to be enough force to unlock it.
If anyone could help with this in terms of what it might be or how much this would cost would be great. I know very little about cars and will either be taking it to my local mechanic or hyundai dealer (whichever will be cheaper).
Thanks

Part of wanting to look at it myself is to look at current consumption of that solenoid compared to the others in case there's some electrical concern but that would end in replacement anyway. :confused:

Without taking a look at it myself I wouldn't have full confidence in an answer but I'd try some lubricating of the solenoid and then replacement if that doesn't improve.

How do we do this if the door can't be opened :question:

I think there's a similar case being duscussed in another thread. The answer there is trim and glass removal but if it can't be opened at all, that's going to be a tough one. :eek:
Does 'seeing the mechanism flinch' mean you can get a flat thin tool in there to help? Once open, the options are much better.

From what I have read on here, it could be the actuator and will convey this to the mechanic.
Many thanks for your suggestions

I'm waiting for clarification (depends on the VIN apparently).

I can let my mechanic know so that he may order/look for the part that needs replaced.
Also if you can give me a rough idea of how much it would cost (part and fixing) would be great??
Many Many Thanks

Good stuff. Just remember it is probably going to need the actuator replaced as that little trick won't work forever. Don't wanna have to cut through the door trim :)

Ok, I've just come across this problem myself but can't unlock the door no matter what I do :'(
I've removed the surround from around the inner door handle and lock button/lever and can see the cable going from there to the actuator. I tried using pointy nose pliers to pull on the cable but the further the lock button/lever moves the less room there is for the pliers so I couldn't unlock it far enough.
Any suggestions?
Thanks. :goodjob2:

When I was trying to unlock it by pulling on the cable I had already unlocked the car with the remote.
I've actually pulled the opposite door trim off so I can see how it works. I tried pulling on the cable on the other back door and it unlocked easily but with the door trim off there's much more room.
Hopefully your suggestion works otherwise.....

I went to move the i30 yesterday morning and what do you know, the door unlocked!
I've now removed the door trim and was going to possibly replace the actuator but it's all working again
. I lubed up a couple of spots and have left the door trim off for the next couple of weeks to monitor it, we'll see what happens......
. Cheers.
