The rear door on the drive side won't open by its self.
I have a 2000 contour and it has power locks but when you hit the open or lock button the rear door on the driver's side won't respone. I think it can be a blown fuse but i don't know what could be the casued.
DO you know were i can get a copy of the fuse box location and symbol my car never came with a manula

Sounds Like A Short Somewhere Between The Master Switch Panel On The Drivers Side Door And The Malfunctioning Door...Take The Rear Door Panel Off (Very Easy) And Put A Test Light Or Volt Meter To The Wire That Controls The Lock Mechanism...With The Test Light/Meter Probed Into The Wire, Hit The Lock Switch On Your Master Panel...Watch For Light/Voltage...If Nothing Then You Have A Short Somewhere In Line...If This Is The Case Then Happy Hunting As You May Be There For Awhile Tracking The Wire Loking For A kink Or Bare Spot Where The Wire Is Grounding Out....Also Try Searching This Particular Forum For Another Post Where Someone Has Had The Same Problem.... Type In Some Different Keywords To Search By.

Is it supposed to open by itself? Is it a robot car? 
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

This is a good idea, except if the door will not unlock and the child safety feature is "on", then you won't be able to open it even from the inside.....of course then, you won't be able to get the door panel off. Quite a pickle, huh??
