Both passenger doors not working and passenger headlight blown twice

Guitarist01 · 11-01-2023, 12:35 AM

Basically the title. I’ve put a lot of money into the car and keep having problems. I think this is the last of them.

I’ve blown two headlights on the passenger side now, and both the passenger door and back passenger door will not unlock from the key or inside, you have to manually unlock and lock.

The mechanic I took it to said there was a bad passenger door module, and the fuses were okay as well as the actuators, but I’m not 100% sure.

Thinking of taking it to the dealership.

Any help is appreciated!

Dang, those sound like some crazy issues.

When you say you've blown two headlights, what do you mean? Are they halogen or HID, and what specifically did you have to do to replace?

Doors can be finicky, but there should be a root cause. Fuses, actuators, electrical, it has to be something.

Has this car ever been in an accident? If the passenger and passenger side door are refusing to open, this could be indication of damage / poor quality repair.
