Central locking

[Raff zeus]

2005 X5 E53, drivers door would not open from outside broken handle carrier  replaced by,- disconnecting battery,(ready for air bag removal), removed door switch gear,light and air bag, peeled back vapour barrier  removed lock by undoing hex screw, disconnected ball joint swivel, removed broken carrier,replaced with new one, rebuild door,handke works fine, door locks on key, but central locking (by key fob)working on all days except drivers door!, center consul lock switch also not working, changed door lock motor/ actuator, still no central locking to drivers door,initially interior lights stayed on and dash message said door open when driving, turned lights off, message not returned  all fuses ok,.

Any ideas as to why all doors work fine on fob, except drivers, and consul lock button non operating. T.I.A.

Welcome to the Forum

First I would back track and make sure that everything is connected correctly and no pinched wires, pay special attention to the Drivers door window control switch (it is the master) remove the connectors and clean the pins with a good electrical connection cleaner. Then reconnect and test you could also try removing cleaning and replacing fuses 20 & 24 (check that as my old brain might be tricking me) 

Hope this helps

Cheers Greydog, I will double check the window control switch, already removed and double checked all 3 fuses linked to the central locking, wednesday  will be the day.
