In some cars, a failed door lock actuator may lock but won’t unlock, or the other way around. In most cases, the problem with a door lock actuator is limited to only one door. In some vehicles, the cable that connects the door lock actuator to the inner door handle may be built into the actuator assembly. BMW 325I doors will not unlock Replace fuse 57 (15 amp) then disconnect battery and wait 30 to 45 minutes before reconnecting the battery. My 2006 BMW 325I had the same problem with the door locks not responding. I checked all related fuses and found #57 (15 amp) was the only related fuse blown. I put in a new fuse and it still would not work.

Bmw E90 Problem
Hi
This morning after dropping kids at school my central locking stopped working i.e. pressing key fob buttons and lock button on dash has no affect on doors, doors stay unlocked when driving etc. I have had this before in 2009 and MP fixed it.
Searching the internet reveals that this is a common problem on the E90 and is either the fuse or actuator. Guys in the States have a Service Bulletin to fix the problem. Does anyone know if there are any service bulletins for this in South Africa?
If it's just the fuse then it should be a cheap fix. The actuator costs about R900 from BMW. If there is a service bulletin then I would rather BM carry some or all of the cost.
