Jaguar XF front passenger door locking issue with fob, all other doors functioning on Jaguar XF

Problem overview

Some Jaguar XF owners report experiencing issues with the front passenger door not locking or unlocking via the fob, despite all other doors functioning properly. This problem may stem from a faulty door lock actuator that requires replacement or repair. Additionally, a malfunctioning or sticking door latch could prevent proper operation, necessitating inspection. Owners should also verify that the key fob is within range and has adequate battery power for effective communication with the door lock mechanism. In some cases, resetting the central locking system by turning off the engine and opening the driver's door may resolve electronic glitches. If these troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, consulting a professional Jaguar mechanic or dealership is recommended for a thorough diagnosis and repair of the locking mechanism.
