So glad I found this forum. I read several post about the dreaded door handles and door locks. But I cant find the answer to my problem.
This morning I went out to our 01 Explorer sport and tried to open the passenger side door. The outside broke in my hand. I knew that ford handles are back about braking so I wasnt too broken hearted over it. After climbing in and trying to open the door from the inside, I realized that the door WILL NOT OPEN. The lock REFUSES to unlock. So now I have a door that I cant open.
I realize that there are parts that now need to be replaced but how can I get the door panel off to replace them if I cant get the door open.
I tried the remote, the key in the door, pressing the unlock button 1000 times...nothing. Any idea how to get the door open without having to take it to the dealer and get my wallet cleaned out?
Thanks in advance
