![]() ![]() Slide the two ears counterclockwise to the 12 o'clock position. ![]() Verify the door is open all of the way and the bolts are extended to their locked position. There are two ears (tips) on the plate that are positioned between 12 and 2 o'clock.Locate the spindle plate that rests against the safe door, directly behind the keypad.Slide the keypad housing away from the door (similar to changing the batteries).Open the door all of the way and extend the bolts.Then replace the battery tray and enter your code a few times until lock begins to lock. To improve battery contact, remove the battery tray and bend down the thin metal contact tabs located inside the battery tray compartment at the top. For single battery keypads, the battery may not be making good contact with the keypad terminals.Follow the battery replacement procedure in this manual. If the lock "chirps" when keys are pressed, but it will not open, the batteries may be drained to the point that they will not operate enough to lock the lock.Total labour $ love.00 2 hrs, secondhand lock unit complete from wrecker $30. Same happened to my R50, lock went a tad stiff, button wouldn't pop up, actuator worked then the next time the lock spun in the handle and lucky the passenger door was open.ĭoor card off, actuator unit out, handle off, swap the tumbler body over and reinstall with lubricant in the obvious place (not the tumbler mechanism). They snap due to age and the lubricating grease is dry, nothing to do with the rear collision. its about a 2 hr DIY once you have the parts and the difficult part (due to not having tiny hands) is to get inside the door to pull the actuator out to disconnect the door handle cable and remove the door handle. You can pick up a second hand unit (tumbler body) from any wrecker for an R50-52-53 door and swap the tumblers over as its the outer shell that you need. The Tumbler Body has snapped the two dogs off the end so the connecting arm cant manually activate the door actuator to unlock the doors. If the Key Lock (tumbler) is spinning in the door handle and you are unable to pop the door button up to unlock the car. If we can reach the key to the ignition, will that allow us to open the door somehow? (She has a manual transmission) Was a 10min jump charge and turning a light on enough to prove the battery was good enough to unlock and stop the spinning? Did we try everything, is there any other way to open the door? She only has Liability insurance so we'd rather not break the window. She got it with 1 key that doesn't have remote unlock. We were able to get her wallet and cell phone from her purse barely through the window, so we called it a night around 9pm and going to research today for any other options. We were about to break the window until we found some claws. I think it came to a point where it was a challenge and nobody wanted to give up and we were in disbelief. Replace the handle and tighten the screw. Pull off the handle and spray lubricant onto the screw to get it to turn more easily. (I could go buy something long enough to reach the ignition from the passenger side window)ĥ+hrs with 5 people getting drenched in severe storms in Florida. If the knob is old, the screw may be stripped or stuck. Tried getting the key in the ignition but was too difficult. Turned on lights to make sure the battery wasn't dead. Got the hood open and used jumper cables for to charge for 10min. Pulling up the small black manual lock/unlock knob won't budge, and we pulled hard. ![]() You turned one knob to turn it on, turned another knob to change the five. Console unlock button pushing it up or down does nothing (she said she never uses it for unlocking so maybe it never worked?) We have a Tracphone for emergencies but I do not stare at a device all day. Once you purchase replacement parts, use a Phillips screwdriver to take. This will make it easier to find replacement parts at a hardware store. Pulling the door handles on each side won't open the door (we pulled hard) The shutoff valve will be located near where your home’s water heater is installed. (windows both up so we have to use device to jimmy) This is the best Mini forum on the net so came here for help I've read this key device inside the door was poorly made and often replaced and can come loose easily so maybe the minor bump caused that? Not sure. After that is settled, she goes back to open the door with the key and she turns to unlock it and it just keeps spinning (this is the only way she can open the door, the remote keyless is broke). No damage to the Mini so a minor accident. She was backing out to leave and another car was also backing out and they bumped each other. I'll try to make this short but it's been crazy. My girlfriend has a 2002 Mini Cooper (base), and it's stuck at a hotel in Florida. ![]()
