Hi everyone,

My 2003 2.6 estate door solenoid stopped working.the drivers door would open and lock with the key and the remote worked on the other doors so I was not going to bother getting it fixed. Then the  locking tab on the door started staying down, again no problem until I found that occasionally I could not get the door open from the inside or outside and had to get out through the passenger door. I have replaced the solenoids on other Omegas but not the facelift model. I have removed all the screws including the one under the plastic interior door lever. Do I have to take off the decorative wood finished panel. Do I have to remove the door light. On the new site I cannot get access to the advice and videos formerly available on the old site.

Can anyone help. I did manage to get the door tab up by pulling hard with pliers locked on with the window down.  I tried to release the window opening switches by levering up as was necessary on the old model and must have dis connected the switch as I cannot get the window to close and it’s raining tonight!
Thanks

If you are trying to get the door card off there is a guide for that in the maintenance section.

Broken the switch trying to lever it out most likely. 

Although everything points to a slightly more imaginative cyberspammunky than the usual Audi or Honda driving types

have you removed the screw under the lozenge shaped plastic cover under the cubby door at top?
