Can't open the right rear door of the Sylphy from the inside?
2 Answers
The child lock might be engaged. It is recommended to check the sliding switch on the side of the right rear door. 1. Function of the child lock: Generally, the rear door locks are equipped with a child lock, which is designed to prevent children from mischievously pulling open the door from the inside without adult supervision, thereby avoiding potential dangers. If a door cannot be opened from the inside and can only be opened from the outside, it is usually due to the child lock being activated. 2. Precautions: If the child lock is not engaged and all vehicle locks are in the unlocked position, but the door still cannot be opened from the inside, it may indicate a malfunction in the door lock mechanism. In such cases, inspection and repair should be considered as needed.
I encountered a situation where the right rear door of the Nissan Sylphy couldn't be opened from the inside. The most common cause is usually the activation of the child safety lock. There's a small switch on the edge of the Sylphy's rear door frame that, when set, prevents the door from being opened from the inside, primarily for child safety. If the switch is on, the door can be opened from the outside but not from the inside. Check the door frame for that toggle switch and turn it back to resolve the issue. If it's not this, it might be a mechanical problem, such as a stuck lock mechanism or a loose connection rod in the door handle causing the pull cable to be ineffective. Occasionally, cold weather can cause the door to freeze shut; try using warm air to thaw it. Safety first—don't treat it as a minor issue. Address it promptly to avoid the danger of not being able to open the door while driving. If you really can't fix it, it's best to go to a 4S shop for a professional inspection and repair.
