What are the reasons for the driver's door not opening?
1 Answers
There are generally several reasons why a car door cannot be opened from the outside but can be opened from the inside: 1. If the driver's door cannot be opened from the outside, it indicates an issue with the exterior door handle. In such cases, the door's interior trim panel needs to be removed for repair. For some older vehicles, the driver's door may also fail to open from the inside, which is usually caused by a malfunctioning internal door switch. 2. Problem with the door cable: The interior trim panel must be removed for inspection, as the cable may have become detached. 3. Fault in the door lock mechanism itself: The only way to diagnose this is by removing the interior trim panel to inspect the lock assembly. 4. Child lock not being disengaged.
