Door won't open!!


Just had to let you guys know about this one.

A workshop had spent hours trying to open the door on a Peugeot 1007.

Convinced they had a door lock fault they had almost destroyed the trim on the door trying to remove it, while the door remained firmly locked.

A global scan, that is a scan of all the electronic control units fitted to the vehicle revealed a fault code relating to the fuel filler cap. A new filler cap sensor and loom was fitted and hey presto the door opened.

But why, these vehicles are fitted with a sliding door that is prevented from opening when the filler cap is opened. This is a safety issue as the door would hit the fuel nozzle if it could be opened during re fuelling. With the sensor faulty the safe mode is locked.
