Passenger door locking (English)

The passenger door will not lock using the remote or central locking sysytem. It will unlock fine, but will not lock unless you push down the knob with your hand. I replaced the lock actuator today, but still wont lock. The wiring is fine. The fuses are fine. The push down knob is not binding, it moves up and down easy. I don't want to pay a BMW dealer 200 Euro for something simple. But, I have tried everything. The lock actuator moves both ways, so the actuator is fine. I even tried adjusting it left and right, but no help. So, lock actuator is ok, wiring is ok, nothing binding. Can anyone help me with this problem?

Did You enter Your car before by using the emergency unlocking procedure?

If yes, try to synchronize the central locking system by turning the key as shown here:



for the drivers door (left) or here:



for the other door.

You can try that anyway, before doing anything else.

das hat er schon probiert. Lenny hatte im E32 Register schon gefragt und da hatte ich ihm die Bilder gezeigt und auch die Seiten von Johan mit dem gebrochenen Halter und den Mikroschaltern.

Mit faellt aber auch nichts mehr ein.

Sorry Lenny, but maybe there comes another good idea from somebody.
