Ok, i have that central door lock thing.(if thats what it is called-where you lock/unlock the drivers door the passenger does the same)

well if i try to unlock the passenger door on the outside with the key, it doesn't unlock. is that supposed to happen?

 

#1. Make sure that the "lock-out" button is not pressed on the drivers side console.

#2. Turn the key the "other" way. The passenger side door lock is the reverse of the drivers side door, so you need to turn it the other way (at least on my car).

turned key both ways....nothing.
looked for a "lock out" button. didn't see one except for the windows.

 

1) can you unlock it from the toggle switch on the inside of the passenger door?

2) can you unlock it using the key on the driver's door?

3) can you unlock it from the toggle switch on the driver's door?

 

central locking is when you lock or unlock all doors from the drivers door (central)

The actuator on the passenger's side is activated by the driver's side, but it doesn't work the other way around.

What you are experiencing is the way it is designed, not a problem.

I hope this helps in avoiding some confusion.

 

so I am not supposed to be able to unlock the passenger door from outside?

 

Wait, do you have keyless entry?

If not, then you can unlock the passenger door from the outside, but it will not unlock the driver side. If you unlock the driver side, then both should unlock.

If you do have keyless entry and the passenger's side is not unlocking, then the actuator might have gone bad.

 

hmm. so if my alarm won't unlock or lock my passenger side door it will be the actuator????
Is there any way you can you fix them?

This is a VERY COMMON Problem with tiburons. The tech at the dealer know about and know some tricks to get it to working.

It is a problem in all 97-01 tiburons.

Get use to it smile.gif even if hyundai fixes them they will crap out later.

Its just poor design in the wiring aspect.

Also ****ty quality door actuators.
