How to unlock my driver's side door that wont unlock with auto or key

Opening the door with the key should turn the alarm off. It is the certified way to get into a car if the key fob remote fails. Get a local auto locksmith to get you a new fob and key and program it. Keep the old one as a spare key.

Take it to a local auto-electrician. It will be cheaper than the dealership. It could be the door switch or the ignition switch, or the body control module. You also have the door locking issue, which could be the key to it all. A Pro Grade Scan tool Computer can diagnose in 10 minutes.

Does it work pressing the button on the driver's door armrest? Check the fuse for that window. Also check continuity of the wires or the wires that go from the door to the door frame? Constant open and closing can break wires.

I have a 2005 ES330. Pressing and holding the button also opens my sunroof. It is very useful in the heat of the summer.

The mechanism or door rod has been disconnected inside the door. Replace as needed.

Is it the proper size battery as this happened me also. The battery was slightly too high even though it fitted in the key chain. So it was actually the wrong battery. I changed this and now it has the right battery but makes a loud horrible noise when I lock my car and when I unlock the car, it unlocks all the other doors except the drivers door, which means I have to get in the passenger side to open the drivers door. I am bringing it back to the garage to try and sort this annoying problem out,

will your key work in the passengers side?
If so I asume you have electric door locks. open drivers door from inside shut the passengers door. go around to the drivers side shut the door lock the doors from inside then unlock the doors open door shut door and try to start it...as far as disableing it you will have to take it to nissan electrical tec.

It's unlikely you can rectify this problem by playing around with the CL system so you will need to take it to the dealer or auto electrician to fix.
In any event you should be able to manually lock all passenger doors on the vehicle from inside the car and the drivers door from outside with the key.

Before you take the car to the auto shop to fix the CL system try this if you have not already.

1. Manually lock - then manually unlock - all doors (except the driver's door) from inside the car and make sure they are fully shut.

2. Then manually lock all doors a 2nd time except the driver's door.

3. Hit the lock button on your car key pad to activate the central locking system. This should lock the drivers door but with the fault it probably won't. Wait a few seconds then hit unlock on your key pad. Wait again and then hit lock once more. If it will not lock all doors you know what to do next.

is the lock mechanism siezed,or is the linkage disconected?
