I had the following issues in the right side:

- Windows wouldn't close
- Doors wouldn't lock or unlock with remote or button in centre
- Mirror wouldn't fold

Ordered a second hand door module replacement with identical numbers on. Fitted it and now window goes up and down, but drives side rear door doesn't lock neither does drives door and the car beeps upon locking to say door is open. Replaced module with another one and still have the same issues, also change the left door latch and door module and no changes.

In the garage software (AUTEL) the replacement modules appear with the VIN of the donor car. Do the new (old) replacement modules need to be programmed to the car? If so how do I do this? Also I´ve a IID tool.

Thanks in advance

Did you have to reprogram the BCU? Maybe BCU is damaged with the known problem of water ingress.
Now, I´m waiting for two second hand latches for front/rear right side that I bought to test...fingers crossed but I already start to search a second hand BCU...

i dont know what model or year you car is.
mine is 2005
so it might be different
no, i did not need to program the BCU
i also used an earlier model BCU and it works fine
for some months i had no problems, then out of the blue, the remote wont open the drivers door, all the other doors work fine.
i changed the BCU with the proper one, but it made no difference.
i will have to fix that one day RR 2005 4.4 petrol

the BCU is under the passenger seat, should not have a water problem, i would think
easy to change RR 2005 4.4 petrol
