I have a Jaguar XKR 2002. The passenger door will not open, window works but I cannot open the door. Drivers side ok except makes a clonking lock sound whenever the door is opened. Any ideas how to fix this problem

 

Hi Pete, I moved your post to its own thread so hopefully you will get better responses that can fix your issue, but also so as not to pollute the Prize giveaway thread.

In the meantime, I hope you get help with your door problems

 

Question(s)?
Is the problem mechanical or electrical. When you activate the electrical switch to unlock the door, do you hear the door actuator attempting to unlock the door? Is there a difference with key fob vs. a release while sitting in the vehicle and pushing a door unlock switch. If the electronics are releasing, is the door handle mechanically not releasing the door latch?
Electronic: You have the door switches on both doors, a control module on each door, an actuator for each door, and a door locking relay (1) for both doors. Start by checking fuses: Passenger side, fuse #2-10amp, #4-5amp, #15-25amp driver door fuse box, #15-25amp passenger fuse box.
You should be able to isolate if it is electronic.
Mechanical: If it is a situation where the passenger door handle itself is not releasing the lock mechanism, it may be necessary to remove the interior door panel and check the mechanical rod which activates the lock mechanism.

 

Hi thanks for the reply. I will check the fuses first. It all seemed to start with the car alarm going off whenever I locked the doors with the key or fob. I found if I locked the passenger door from inside by pushing the lever in, exiting from the drivers side and then locking with the fob, the alarm did not go off. But since doing that the passenger door wont open at all

 

Found a blown 20 amp fuse and changed it but it made no difference, no idea why that should be. There is no sound in the door when the lock is triggered by the fob or release handle. Nothing appears to be working. The windows work fine and so does the mirror.
