I dont know what the hell happened but I was out and about today went to the mall and locked my door like normal with the keyless, When I come back I find that I cant unlock the door anymore, it makes the sound but doesnt seem to kick back enough to engage the handles.

Anyone know how the hell I can get the door unlocked? Is there a mechanism that I can slide a coat hanger down in there to try and grab onto? This is damn rediculous, I have to exit via the passenger door!!

Pictures, Ideas etc all welcome. Im kinda stumped here.

Also when I try to use the key it will turn but will hit a point and then I have to force it which causes the whole handle to move out a bit.

 

so you cant even open the door from the inside?

 

Sounds like something broke inside the door leaving it in the lock position.

 

The thing is totally locked shut

cant open from inside outside nothing, it will lock forward just fine, but wont unlock quite enough i can clearly see a difference in the little lock compared to the passenger side im gonna see if I can take it apart somehow or atleast expose the mechanism.

 

hmmmmm, kick it in?

 

So just went out there and messed with it for a sec apparently something is loose because I just slapped the hell out of it and the lock wouldnt budge so I slapped it harder and bam door unlocked.

 

Check this out

 

hey thanks, seems to be working fine for now we'll see I guess.

 

hey, just saw this thread. Same thing happened to me a few months ago. Turns out the linkage popped out of the lock a little, and after a swift hit to the door panel, it fell back into place.

I would recommend that you take off the door panels and make sure all the clips are still in place so that this doesn't happen to you again. In my case, one of my retaining clips had come off which is what caused the problem.

 

just dukes of hazard it! youll look like a pimp @ the club.

 

My door does this sometimes if you either pull the handle to quickly or the lock is not engaged all the way (even though it will still not open. Typically if I re lock the doors and then unlock it again it opens up fine.
