Door not opening

[Fish]

I have a 2020 aviator, and my fr passenger door won’t open/actuate, I have tried changing the lock mechanism, door control module and the inner door switch, but it still doesn’t want to work, the car has been for a swim, what could be stopping this from working? Any ideas?

Also, even before we hacked the door open, the aviator said the door was open, even when we couldn’t open it, maybe this is a clue? 🤷‍♂️

Update, the latch won’t latch either, it’s like it has no power at all, where does it get its power from?

Please see my post at: 2020 aviator not locking from panel
Note: My post has to do with the exterior touch panel which would not be applicable if your door won't open from the vehicle interior.

My door lock isn’t making a sound or anything, no matter which switch you press nothing happens at all

Then the post I referenced would not be applicable.

Have you checked all the wiring in the door to see if there is power?

Hi Fish. Did you purchase new or used? Did the doors work when you purchased the vehicle?

By stating that your "car has been for a swim", does that mean it was flooded out and/or a Salvage Title vehicle? How deep "a swim"?

If that is the case, the possible causes are numerous, since water could have penetrated/infiltrated into any/all of the electrical and electronic areas of the vehicle. unfortunately, in a case like this (if it is a flooded vehicle), blind Internet guesses are worth exactly what we pay for them.

You can attempt to test/trace power as far up the circuits as you can find, and hope that may point you in the right direction. However, it can be any of numerous modules, connectors, wires etc. etc. etc. that were water damaged.

I am sure others will try to help.

Keep us updated and good luck.

Yes it’s a salvage vehicle, the water got up just past the sill/rocker, but not as high as the door control module, all the other doors work fine

Hi Fish. Yes, there can be a water infiltration issue in one door or area of the vehicle, while others can work fine.

What are the answers to the other questions? Did you purchase it new and it was flooded while you owned it? Or did you purchase it used as a Salvage vehicle? If you purchased it used/Salvaged, how long have you owned it? Did the front passenger door ever work while you owned it?

If you purchased it used, it is difficult to know how high the water actually rose to, since you are simply taking the word of another person who wanted to sell it.

Since it is a water damaged, Salvage vehicle, assuming water infiltration damage would be the place to start.

Keep us updated and good luck.

Been for a swim

I’ve just bought an 2020 aviator that’s been for a swim, my question is, do all aviators Lincoln badges light up? Or is it a part of the illumination package? Mine doesn’t light up, but I don’t know if it’s because of its watery past or not!

Hi Peter. Thanks! Sometime I just do not feel like searching when it is past my nap time.

Good luck. 🍻
