As per title my front passenger side door isn't fully unlocking. All other doors unlock/lock fine with the remote however this door lock gets about halfway up and stays there. I've taken off the pin and tried to pull the metal piece manually however still having no luck. Has anyone had any experience with this and/or know how to fix?

does your car park out in the weather? my mate had this happen to his VT on the drivers door, the electrics dont like moister, his was like this for about 3 months in the colder months, but when it warmed up, it worked normal again

Yeah, it's parked in a driveway under a cover, but definitely still gets wet in areas. I'll have to see about getting into the door and seeing what happened, thanks!

You probably need a new door actuator.

It could be as simple as the door lock button (shown in the above file) binding on the plastic surround.
Have had this problem with my VT, V2 and VZ. After getting the button off, and finding that the lock still worked OK, just sprayed the surround with silicon and replaced the button.
