My front passenger side door wont open after haveing locked it and unlocking it.The door lock knob goes up and down and I have tried unlocking with the key and the handle from inside...Any suggestions...Doug
Any help out there
Sounds like the key lock linkage became disconnected from the locking mechanism.
Can you remove your door panel to reach into the door and manually move the lock mechanism?
Will try this on the week end,,,
Ho,Ho,Ho, young Dougie,I have been sitting here at my work bench,at the north pole,reflecting on your door problem, well lock problem anyway.I think I can help you,now is your cadi right hand drive,meaning the the passenger door is really on the left hand side of your car, or is the steering wheel on the left hand side,which would indicate your passenger door is on the right.Now once you have worked that out, stand at the front of your car and see if the the right and the left hand doors are still in the same position,now is it still the passenger door which is causing the trouble,hoping this will help you. happy new year from all.
Peter (Blo y)Waite next time you try and get in my car be it the passenger side or drivers side left hand drive right hand drive you will be ending up in the boot or trunk.......Doug ,,, Happy New Year
Problem solved,,,I could not get the door panel off,but after inspecting the other doors and the latching mechanisim I decided to get a can of wd40 with the plastic tube and spray from all angles and after a minute or so the door sprang open....Doug
