I have a 1995 318i BMW convertible and as I went to get in my car the door would not open. I tried unlocking it from the passenger side as well as the trunk the door would show that it was unlocked but it would not open. The trunk would not even unlock the doors either like it used to. I used it last night and it worked fine but idk what's wrong with it. My buddy was thinking it's the battery while I'm thinking that it's the door handle assembly. The inside did get a little wet as it sprinkled while the top was down but only lasted a few minutes. Got the seats wet not soaked and nothing else really got wet. It is a 2 door coupe.

The door lock solenoid has failed and will require removal of the door panel to access
