right side doors open...left side doors don't? 200

On my 82 244 dl the driver side doors both open when i open the door (driver door), but the passenger side doors don't open? Any ideas?


I can hear some sort of relay clicking in the center console..but i have no idea what i could be?

Let me see if I have this right, your power locks only open or lock the doors on the drivers side? So, you can still manually lock or unlock and open the doors on the passenger side?

I would check the relays under the center heating vents in your center council.

you got it. I can still manually unlock the doors, but the central master lock doesnt open all 4 door locks, only the driver side doors.

I can hear the clicking going on in the center console, but i'll ahave to check it out.Thanks

I had this problem in my -89 245 STW.
The lock wire, that runs from door to car body through the rubber hose next to door hinge, was cut due to the repeated opening and closing the door. Couldn't see it first as it was inside the rubber hose and pull the wires on the car body side with pliers. You may need to remove door panel to feed more wire to for new connection. Use insulated connectors.
Checked the connection to the servo also and at firts installed the wires wrong way, the result beeing drivers door locked others open and vice versa. Doh...
The taildoor on STW suffers also from wire abrasion (lock servo, windshield wiper, licence plate lights) on the hinges.

Good luck.
