Hi the drivers door will not lock or open with the key fob.
There is no movement in the lever on open or lock this happend some time ago and then started working again with no work done for about 2 months.
Now it's stopped working again and also the passenger front seat has stopped working completely no power.
Is this linked in anyway I've looked at the fuses and there all fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciate.
 
Pretty sure I have heard of a similar fault. Someone may recall ?
Meanwhile I would start by checking connections. I believe they share an earth, toward rear of front seat.
Does it have memory seats ? If so check the buttons on the door work ok and connections on the module and in door umbilical.
Of course it may be unconnected and you may have to remove door pad and check what happening in there.
A diagnostic read may also help.

Thank for your reply I don't have memory seats, I pretty sure they are connected in some way but I will have alook for the earth is it behind the drivers seat or passengers seat.
 
It is on both sides as I recall. Drivers side for driver and Passenger side for passenger.

It was on the reinforcing rib directly behind the front seat.
Directly behind the glovebox is the BCM which controls most functions. You could check connections to this are secure, but ensure ignition is off before disconnecting anything.
As I said before, a diagnostic read will help point you in the right direction.
 
I have wiring diagram for 2010 model. In that they are both supplied from rear junction box, so check fuses and relays there.
 
Unfortunately the door misbehaving a couple of months ago was a warning that the locking motors in the door lock assembly are on the way out. This often happens with these locks, before they pack up completely. Does the door still open with the inside handle? Sometimes all the handles stop working if the super-lock motor has failed
 
The seat power is likely unrelated to the door lock motor issue, as there's no connection between the power or grounds between the door module and seat controls. Both seat and door modules do both get their power from the rear fuse box, which has been known to suffer corrosion if water has got in the spare wheel well.
 
Sorry, Nodge is right, I managed to enlarge the picture. The earths are next to each other but they are indeed separate.
