Renault Scenic rear door lock jammed

strip it out of the dorr reconnect it and watch what is happening it may be just siezed

I am trying to do that, unfortunately, as the door is locked shut, there is little access to the servomotor.

suppose the motor could be sheared internally only way forward is to remove internal trim and smash the motor apart

My guess is that you 'plip'ed when someone was opening the rear door. This causes a small bit of plastic to break and stop the servo opening your door. I spent ages trying to open my door after this happened, gave up went a local Renault garage where there service guy smiled and said that'll be £60! It seems it happens a lot.

Hi;

I have the same problem with my renault scenic (S reg), however it is now a 2 door sportish diesel, as the 2 rear doors have locked / jammed shut.

I had been having trouble with the doors being sticky, but the motor/solenoid which pushes up still seemed to push but will not open the lock, the lock seems to be jammed.

Do you know actually what the renault garage had to do to the lock and was this =A360 all they took ?.

Thanks

They had to cut away at the anti-coathanger lock covering thing so they could open the door then put a new lock in. It could have been £80.
