[IrishManson]

Alright so bothe my passenger front and rear doors wont open. Don't know why. I have issues with my power locks as well. they seem like the arnt getting enough power to unlock and lock. My passenger front door the inside door handle is messed up but to fix it I need to get the door open so I can take the panel off. I don't know what to do. I really need this fixed, I hate not being able to lock my doors. Anyone have any info???


Thanks in advance!

I had a similar problem. Had to gain entry thru the hatch door and press the button to unlock all doors.
only the rear doors would open - both front remained loced and I then had to get in the back and open the front door by pulling the lever. Embarrasing!
Then the battery died not long after.
Once I changed that out - all doors worked again.
So . . . how old is your battery?

Perhaps its just the interior mechanisms need a good lube, or there is something else jamming/obstructing it, but it sounds like you need to get the panel off to see whats going on.

FYI, my rear door handle broke the other day, and I was surprised RockAuto had them for $5 each They are easy to change.
I also lubricated everything while I was in there.

They also sell actuators if you need them.

Something that happened to me a few weeks ago. I also could not get into my truck, and it was running at the post office. What happen is that I lost a couple of screws in the door jam and the lock would not trigger. Called towing, had the door open in around 30 seconds. Went over to the junk yard and at least picked up one of those screws to replace. No problems since. Not sure if this helps.

Easiest way would be call a towing company/locksmith. Insurance will take care of it.

If you have to break a window to get in. The rear hatch is the cheapest, I believe.
