★ Top Answer
To open the rear side doors of a Ford Transit Van, start by pressing the unlock button on your key fob twice. This should unlock the door, allowing you to pull the handle and open it. If the door doesn't unlock, you can try pressing the unlock button while holding the handle more securely closed to see if that helps release the latch. If the issue persists, it may be a problem with the door lock mechanism or the lock actuator. You can confirm this by taking apart the door from the interior.

I had been dealing with issues with my minibus door locks for more than a year. I had converted the 9-seat minibus into a camper a few years ago with insulation, cladding, and a fixed bed. Originally, I thought the problem was with the key fob battery, but even manual locking with the key in the door became unreliable. It was incredibly frustrating as sometimes the doors would unlock, other times they wouldn't, causing me to drill a hole in the bulkhead to manually unlock the sliding door. I tried everything to fix the problem, disassembling and cleaning the door mechanisms, but nothing worked. I even had to leave the vehicle unlocked in parking lots, which added to my stress. Ultimately, one of the sliding doors refused to open from the inside, prompting me to take the minibus to a Ford garage. They discovered that there are two batteries in Transit vehicles, with one specifically for the locking system. The maintenance cost me £240 to replace the battery and get everything functioning smoothly again. I hadn't come across this information online, so now I'm sharing my experience everywhere in the hopes of assisting others facing a similar predicament. I'm relieved that the issue is resolved without having to dismantle anything further.

People are frequently discussing key fobs, but my vehicle only uses traditional keys. After my alternator failed and drained the battery, I am facing issues where my regular lights do not function properly, only the high beams and parking lights are working. Moreover, my sliding door is not unlocking. I have already examined the light fuses and they appear intact. I am at a loss on how to resolve the problem with the sliding door. The door includes two pins that I have cleaned along with their connection points. Beneath the contact plate, there is a spring without a cover. The unlocking problem arose following the alternator replacement and persists despite the battery being fully charged. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
