2 Answers
Geely Emgrand GL front passenger door cannot be opened from both inside and outside due to the following reasons: the central locking is not unlocked, the door is in child lock mode, the car key battery is dead, or the door lock mechanism is faulty. Central locking is not unlocked: The solution is to press the central locking switch on the main driver's control panel to unlock the central lock. Door is in child lock mode: If the child lock on the door is activated, the solution is to locate the child lock on the side of the door, toggle the switch, and deactivate the child lock. Car key battery is dead: When the car key battery is dead, the key cannot send the signal to unlock the door, making it impossible to open the door. The car key battery needs to be replaced. Door lock mechanism is faulty: The door lock mechanism is responsible for locking and unlocking the door. If the mechanism is faulty, the door cannot be unlocked. A technician should be consulted to inspect the door lock mechanism.
I've seen this issue with the Geely Emgrand GL's passenger door not opening from inside or outside many times. The most common cause is a jammed door lock mechanism, often due to accumulated dust or rust preventing the lock cylinder from moving. If the internal linkage rods become detached or broken, it can also make the handle impossible to pull. Sometimes, deformed door hinges or slight body collisions causing door frame deformation can lead to jamming. First, check the fuse - for electric door locks, a blown fuse will cut off the circuit. Avoid forcing or kicking the door open as this may damage more components. As a temporary solution, try spraying lubricant into the lock cylinder, but it's best to have a professional repair shop conduct a thorough inspection. Regular maintenance including door lock cleaning can prevent this issue. For safety, remain calm in such situations and use other doors for entry/exit.
