Unable to Open Car Door from Inside or Outside?
1 Answers
Door cannot be opened from inside or outside due to a malfunction in the lock mechanism. Below are the reasons and solutions for the door not opening: 1. Misalignment. Solution: Apply forceful impacts by pushing against the door with your body from inside or outside the car, or have someone assist by pulling the door from outside while another person pushes from inside. 2. Lock mechanism failure. Solution: Remove the door panel from inside the car, though this is challenging since the door won't open and may result in broken clips. After removing the trim panel and sound insulation layer, you'll have better access to the lock mechanism. Try pulling the cable manually to see if it moves. If not, use a hammer and chisel or a drill to disassemble the lock mechanism.
