The fuse cannot be seen without removing the fuse board (the one inside
the car) The fuse is on the back of the fuse board often hidden behind
the attached wiring.

Exactly, could some please punish the guy who "invented" that!

The fuse was broken (20A) put in a new one and some functionality
came back, but the rear right passenger door won't open, looks
like I have to replace the servo motor on this door.

I'll follow up with results.

I have heard of a couple of cases where the servo has jammed/siezed it
was possible to just clean the guides and the external parts of the
servo motor in one case but the other was as you suggest a replacemnt
job.

Hi Andy!

Might pe possible, but there's some time/work involved to open
the door and get the thing out, so it makes more sense to me to
just exchange it, as I'm not willing to open it more then once
for the problem. I'm sure there's not much dirt involved, the car
has it's own garage, so it's inside most of the time.

Ordered the servo motor today at my Ford dealer, after explaining
what had happened he was pretty sure it'd be the motor. It will
arrive tomorrow, it's about 106,- Euro, the complete car might be
about 250000 Euro in spare parts.;( I'll follow up to this thread
as soon as there are news about the matter.
