Door lock and window issues
I've got a 2001 Z06 with a door problem.
Codes are
B2262
B2263
B2264
B2265
These are horizontal and vertical position sensor circuits for both doors - according to the code list I have.
I have ordered the service manual, but have not received it yet, so, I'm asking here.
The passenger door window will not go up or down, although, I can hear a clicking sound. The window motor feels warm to the touch (certainly not hot, but warm). I tried tapping it with a hammer to see if it was just in a dead spot with no luck
The passenger door will lock with the remote or either door lock button, but will only unlock by using the locking handle on the door. I pulled the actuator out and it works properly to lock, but will not unlock.
The mechanism works smoothly in both locking and unlocking movements.
Any ideas?

Wild guess of the top here...two problems and not just one. Probably a bad relay in the door control module and yes, you can replace them if you can use a soldering gun and find a relay for it. Also, the motor is probably is in a dead spot as you suspect. I just replaced a regulator assembly for someone else and the owner did not elect to mess with it, just shelled out for a new one. You can remove the regulator assembly and see if you can get the motor to move but know that its seriously tied into the regulator assembly and good luck trying to get it to move...but, having said that, you might make it functional again and might not. Now, the cost of a new regulator runs anywhere from $150-$300 depending on where from for OEM. We just found a place that sells an aftermarket regulator for like $67.50. I can't state its good or not but if you want the site address, send me a PM and I'll send it to you right away.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I do find it odd that I'm getting the same codes for both door control modules, yet, only the left one is giving me trouble.
I might take the module out of my 04 and try it in the 01 to see if it works. With my luck, I'd mess up that module too...

So, what about the door lock?
Mine does the exact same thing. Seems like it is hung up with fob open or switch opening, but works easily with manual flip of the lock lever. Is just the passenger side. Makes me feel like I want to spray some lube in there somewhere, but suspect solenoid may be weak. But then why would it lock electrically, but only unlock manually? Car only has 17 K and pass side not used much.
How hard to replace solenoid?

Access to the various parts in the door is pretty good, so replacement is rather easy. But throwing parts at a problem without proper diagnosis is, in my opinion, not the best way to fix something.
I hoping someone here might have a detailed procedure for determining the root of the problem.
Until then, I'll continue to swap parts from my 04, hoping I don't do more damage.

This is what I did to fix problems I had a year ago
This write up saved me at least $400.00. Those relays are about a $1.80 each...I took a couple pics. Hats off to ppl who take the time to do a write up

Awesome writeup!
That is an awesome write up. Thanks. At least we now know a possible cause of our problem; could well be the unlock relay,but...... mine partially unlocks with any switch or the fob, just won't flip all the way to unlock.
Unfortunately for me the soldering skills completely elude me.
At my age, I lack the near vision and hand eye coordination stuff to pull off fine motor skill jobs. Gettin' old ain't for sissies !!
This site is awesome and thanks for the detailed reply.

You could probably get some1 to solder it for u real cheap; maybe an electronics repair shop.I may get a friend of mine to do it.

That's a good write up/pictorial. I've had to replace two of my drivers side relays, about a year apart. I found the most difficult part to be cutting through the sealer that's applied to the entire circuit board.
BTW, the relays are available from:
Digi-Key Corporation
701 Brooks Avenue South
Thief River Falls, MN 56701
1-800-344-4539
The part number is 255-1240-ND
The above info is from my sales receipt from them in 2008, when I bought several of the relays from them. I got their contact information from the detailed write up on how to do this job, from the 01-24-2007 CF topic, originally posted by CF member "Bakersfield".....

Here's an update.
While I had the door panel off, I swapped modules with my 04. The door would lock and unlock properly now. The window still would not operate. I figured it must be the motor or regulator, as I also swapped the control unit from my 04 to this car.
I got a BFH and gave several good smacks to the bolts that hold the window motor to the door panel, and presto, the window goes up and down now... Yeah!
I put the original door module back in and the window still operates properly. The door will lock, but won't unlock. I'm guessing it's the relay.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to see if I can get a relay for it.
