To actually prove its a wiring fault or not you would remove the door card , check the wiring diagram , see which wires actually operate it then check to see if you had voltage at said pins to prove it one way or the other ..

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi My passenger door doesn't always open when i open the car with the remote. Normally i have to lock the car again a few times and open or try to open front he inside etc. Any clues? Dodgy solenoid? I've just had ignition key thing replaced which was causing electrical gremlins so I had hoped this was linked but obviously not! Best Edward

POST 2Original post

Its more than likely going to be the lock mechanism .. Try spraying the hell out of the door catch with lubricant and then open / close the door many times .. Its about all you can try other than removing the lock and seeing if its sticking or just plan had it .

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So you dont think an electrical gremlin? Interesting, i assumed so! Best Edward

POST 4Original post

Its possible .. but that would indicate a broken wire or a high resistance in the wires .. The alarm CU under the passenger seat controls the central locking .. these are prone to water leaks being so low down .. on a cab then it would be the first thing to look at .. But .. You get many other faults with this type of thing so i discounted it . A wire break / resistance .. it would be more of a permanent thing so from your desription i also discounted it . Software fault .. again unlikely and nothing you could actually do about it ... i discounted this as well. To actually prove its a wiring fault or not you would remove the door card , check the wiring diagram , see which wires actually operate it then check to see if you had voltage at said pins to prove it one way or the other .. Im happy to check a diagram for you if needed and explain what to do . The lock might stick or it might be the motor inside thats failing if you have voltage at the wires but a non operateing lock. Over all i looked at what you said , considered what you can do and boiled it down to a straight forward answer . Thats the longer version Spray it with lub .. work it a lot then see if it helps .
