My Drivers Door Will Not Unlock!

[tnguyen600]

When my door got stuck... I had removed the top portion of the door panel, just like you have stated...I even cut a hole so that I could stick my hand in there (wouldn't matter since it would be covered). Theres a rocker arm mechanism that you gotta pull so that it releases the door however with my situation, the door was stuck in the lock position. Being that it was stuck in the lock position, there was no use in pulling the rocker arm to release the door...I could've pulled it all day and night and still, the door wouldn't have opened.

I'm not saying that the OP's situation is the same as mine...try removing the top portion of the door panel and manually releasing the door from the inside of the door (make sense? lol) and pray that its not stuck in the locked position.

Yeah Im going to take the passenger door apart for refrence sake so I can at least know what or where to pull. Then Im going to attempt to fix the drivers side door.
I Need pointers on how to remove the interior of the door along with the window strip

Yea, I used the passenger door as a reference too. The window strip, its like a tack strip covered in plastic so all you have to do is get a flat head and pry it apart; be careful not to mess it up too much or else it'll look real ugly when you put it back together.

I've never removed my door panel with the door closed, Seems possible but may/will be difficult.
But make sure you keep the window UP so you will have more room to operate within the actual door

You're gonna need the window down to remove the door panel with less trouble. Then you can put the window back up when working with the locking mechanisms. I've taken my door panels off plenty of times working on speakers and putting in my window modules. Make sure to look in the door handle cup thingy on the inside and remove that screw for an easier tear down. and also the screw in the door handle behind the pull to open the door.

But I've left my windows up many times when replacing my front speakers.
The only time I lower the window is after the speakers are replaced to make sure the glass doesnt hit the magnet.

But it seems it can be done with either the windows up or down

Remember I have to do all this while sitting in the car with the door SHUT

The only problem I can see you having is the front and back of the panel.
They are held on by plastic tabs as is the rest of the panel.
THey will be a little difficult to get to if the door is closed

The link may be broken from the lock actuator, or it snapped off. Take your inner door cover to look at see if the link is connected.

happened to me and it was my actuator, just like he said, check that
