What is the reason why the Audi co-pilot door can be opened but the rear outside cannot?

Audi co-pilot door can be opened but the rear outside cannot be opened due to problems with the car lock, door deformation, limiter failure, etc. Problems with the car lock: The central locking of the door is in the open state, just close it; the child lock is in the open state, just turn the child lock to the closed state; the door lock block cable is malfunctioning, the door lock block cable needs to be replaced; the car lock is faulty, just replace it directly. Door deformation: After the door is subjected to a certain external force, the door hinge and lock pillar are deformed. Just replace the door hinge and lock pillar. Limiter failure: The door limiter is malfunctioning, just replace it with a new door limiter.
The rear door not opening from the outside is often due to the child safety lock being activated. I've dealt with many Audi models, which have a manual switch near the latch on the inside of the door called the child lock. Its purpose is to prevent passengers from accidentally opening the door, especially in the rear seats. If the switch isn't adjusted properly or is accidentally bumped, the rear door can only be opened from the inside, and no amount of pulling from the outside will open it. Additionally, Audi's door electronic systems are sensitive. Issues with the key remote or low battery power can cause unstable signal transmission, preventing the lock from responding properly. I recommend starting with the most basic check—the child lock. Locate that small lever and turn it off. If that doesn't work, try restarting the vehicle or replacing the key battery. Of course, more complex issues like a faulty door lock module or wiring short circuits require professional diagnosis at a specialized shop. Never attempt to disassemble it yourself to avoid damaging the vehicle.
