How to Manually Lock the Door of a Fiat Ducato After Disconnecting the Battery

Model: Fiat Ducato X250 - Years 2006-2014
Part: Car door

In this video, see how to manually close the doors of a Ducato after disconnecting the battery: you can close the driver's door with the key, but not the passenger door, which lacks a lock and does not have a button inside to close it. Additionally, if you try to engage the central locking before disconnecting the battery, the alarm will usually sound, as the battery is located inside the cabin. However, there is a way to manually close the passenger door: insert a small screwdriver into the hole above the door lock; lift the latch inside and close the door, which will remain shut.
