Passenger door locking fault

I have a 2006 x type 2.2D SE I am experiencing an intermittent problem unlocking the passenger and rear doors. Sometimes when trying to enter the rear doors they refuse to unlock. Any ideas?

Welcome to the forum Macca793,

I've moved your question from General Tech Help to X-Type forum. Members here with the same model will be able to help.

Start with lubing the hell out of all door latches with WD-40. Concentrate on the driver's door. Close and open each door 6-8 times and do it again. There's a tiny switch in the latch that sticks very easily and can cause the problem you're having.
