Can you test your old one or did you bin it?
If not you can probably swap with the passenger one permanently or for testing.

How could the replacement have been faulty? It was working perfectly fine after it was installed. The only thing I can say about it is that it wasn't a new part and failed within around 500 miles of fitting. What's the vulnerability in them - is it the fairly extreme-angled routing of the cables?
The other thing is that shouldn't the car unlock without me ever having to touch it, shouldn't it unlock with me just approaching the car?
