HOW DID YOU GET THE DOOR OPEN?!!!
How about a method to take off the door panel or open the door when the door won’t open?
Helped to confirm I need to take it to someone who knows what they are doing 😁 thank you for this!!
That's 2 of us good luck..
How did you got the door open in the first place? That is more important.
My guess he went through one of the of three other doors that didn’t have any issues and unlocked it manually maybe? Be my guess
Pulled up on the door lock to unlock it
My 05 tahoe has an issue where my lock cylinder locks but doesn’t unlock. Its fucking crazy. Nobody else seems to have this problem and i WANT to keep my original one key...
Sunpac2 H exactly what i was thinking. How do u get it open even if all method of opening this lock doesn wrk?
Put the key in the lock and manually unlock it.
How about how to open the door with the door close from inside of truck
How did you get the door open if it wouldn't unlock
What if doesn’t open from inside and outside how do you get door open to fix?
You dont.
Yeh you need a new locking mechanism
Fords are known for the wires breaking in between the body & door. Inside the rubber see it all the time. That's where i always start. Gota look close sometimes its not so easy to spot as wires break inside the casing. You can see where get stressed just bend em easily feeling for weak spot that will ge your issue. Rarely do i find issues in the connections inside the door.
well that was good insight! I'm working on a 97 firebird. Here's my dilemma. Power door lock driver side opens but won't lock either door. Passenger side, switch opens, but won't lock!! remote will lock both but the only thing that happens when I try to unlock with remote is dome lights come on & I hear a chime bell inside vehicle
Any ideas on how get rear barn doors to close tighter ?I get water come in unless it's gently pulled tighter
I'm having a problem with the car unlocking taking multiple presses. I can see the door plastic indicators move a little but not fully. This is to all 4 doors though, not just one. Where would this receiver generally be located?
My issue is my front passenger door doesn’t always unlock when I push my key remote. Sometimes it does unlock though. I normally have to manually unlock it from the inside opening up another door, but normally the mechanical unlock level is partially moved but not enough to unlock it fully. So I wasnt sure if it something may be sticking or something needs to be lubed or replaced.
do you know now bc the exact same thing happens to me, just that it only happens when it’s cold outside, if it’s warm it works perfectly
Same thing happening here. It unlocks fine but it seems like it’s weak unlocking. It went from Working, to working half the time, to not working.
Did you guys end up what was the problem?
Great video help. I just found out thats my problem.
Thanks for a very useful vid, good job
There are times when central lock doesn't open by hand that's why it takes some time before i can get out of the car..like it is stucked on the lock position it needs a lot of effort before it opens..what could be the solution to this? 2008 mazda 3 AT 1.6
Thanks.
So my driver door do unlock/lock with the key alarm, but passenger n both rear door doesnt unlock with the key neither from the driver door but its lock only. What could be the problem?
What if my door lock only goes up when i pull the handle up from the inside but then it goes back to the lock position
I have a question if you press the power lock/unlock button (on door & key fob) and the door sometimes unlocks, but most of the time stays locked... would that be the actuator or the latch?
Wouldn't trying to unlock the door with another doors unlock switch pre determine that the actuator on the door is broken?
Thanks
My 1990 taurus sho the 4 door unlock but do not lock is there a door lock module?
Nice
How do you open the rear passenger side door when it won't open from either the outside nor the inside. On a 2010 ford explorer??
Hi I've got an 07 Chevy equinox maybe you can help me when I put the car in park and shut it off should my driver's door at least unlock automatically so I can get out? I have to unlock it each time? I'm sure you're a busy man but if you can help I sure appreciate it ✌🏻
My key fob works, my keyless entry works on passenger side and opens all doors, but not on the driver side. Works from inside and out as well. Recently had car door replaced. Any ideas what could have stopped this from working? I need this fixed...please help! 2015 Toyota Venza
How did you get the door open?
Just acquired a 2005 TnC and the fob activates all of the actuators, you can hear them all clicking, but only the drivers door actually unlocks,thoughts ?
I replaced the lock/unlock relays on my 2009 gmc acadia and now the drivers door won't lock , any suggestions
I have a 04 f150 I can be in the driver seat pull handle to open door it will not open have to roll down window and pull handle from outside to open door please help
Question, is the VVT solenoid on a 03 base model Mini Cooper in the same area as an 03 S model? Because I dont see it on the left back side of the head? Is it different for base model?
I changed the window master switch for a Nissan Rogue 2008 SL AWD as I had intermittent issues with the windows (sometimes they would be stuck and not respond)
After I replaced it, I noticed that when I press the door/unlock switch of the driver and passenger sides, I hear the "click" of the door lock/unlock but the doors remain unlocked.
I am not sure if it is an electrical issue, as I can lock my car just fine by manually lock from the door handle by using my manual keyfob.

Ok so maybe u guys can help so inhave an 05 ford expedition that as of yesterday it stops unlocking it will lock but not unlock with the driver door button and if i use the key fob i can lock everything but only unlocks the driver side

My driver door do unlock/ lock with key alarm, but passenger n both rear doors dont, but it still lock all door with key alarm but doesnt unlock. What could be the problem?

my RAV 2005 remote door control failed to lock all doors? what will be the problem?
0:40 what’s that clear plastic cover called on the door that protects the power window actuator?
In another video they refer to that as a water barrier. Lookup Nissan Titan Window Regulator replacement on this same channel. Hope that helps.
My unlock button doesn’t work, drivers window stop rolling down and my key doe not turn the button to unlock. Would that be a actuator and a windows switch
I have a 2000 Buick Park Avenue and my front passenger door is locked and I am not able to unlock it. It won't unlock with a key from the outside nor will it unlock by pulling the handle from the inside. I know it's the door lock actuator now however the door panel is on and I am not able to access the rods or the door lock actuator. Help, how do I fix this?
So did you fixed it?

My door does have power but it won’t unlock, if I do it by hand it won’t unlock it’s jammed? What could it be? I haven’t opened the panel yet.
My Kia forte SX, locked the driver door, it can only be opened from the inside. This happened when I accidentally closed the door with the engine still on, so I tried to unlock it using the smart key, but it didn't work.
My Yukon passenger rear door unlocks but doesn't lock when using the remote. Where should I start?
My 2016 sierra Denali rear driver side door not working from fob . But then it starting again and now not working again

Where do I start on my 08 Chev Silverado 2500hd....my door fob isn't working with locking and unlocking my doors all 4 are not working
My expedition doors lock themselves when you turn on the key, try to unlock them. They automatically lock themselves right after. Just started to happen outta nowhere
how much would this cost of i get it done by a professional?
I have a 2011 Chrysler 200, only driver side unlocks and locks all 3 other doors dont happened out of nowhere. Need help
how would u open the door without damaging the door...????
I have a strange issue, hoping someone may know the answer. I can lock and unlock my door by hand, but it is definitely harder to push or pull the lock than it used to be. And when I use the button or key fob the lock will move both up and down but will not actually travel far enough to actually lock or unlock the door. So I know I have power. Im thinking now that the internals of either of door latch or actuator are damaged, causing the travel to be more difficult. Anyone have any idea which one is most likely the issue? Thanks
I have a problem with my 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe I bought new key fob remote and I program them my remote and the remote have news battery’s and All that but the lock button works and the unlocked button don’t work and I don’t know what’s wrong with it.

Q7 2007 door locked no keys
I swapped my cluster and now my doors won’t lock with the switch on the inside. They lock mechanically, but I’m just confused how I managed to fuck up the door locks messing with my cluster
I have a 13 silverado and my driver door will not open from the inside or outside, how can this be fixed?
Did you end up finding a solution I have the same problem
You should remove the door panel and examine the lock and door rods. It sounds like the door rods have come loose on one end. Possibly the plastic locks broke over time and allowed the door rods to slip out.
Remove the seat, then the door panel.
both doors will not unlock, can hear the relays clicking, checked for ground and test light lights up on both without pushing the lock button! Any ideas? thanks

Hello, If anyone can help me with this locking/unlocking issue for my 2009 Jeep Compass, or where to take it for repair:
- With the remote OR the inside driver locking/unlocking button, I can unlock only the driver door.
- With the remote OR the inside driver locking/unlicking button, I can lock all the doors.
- The doors other than the driver open manually.
- The trunk does not unlock.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
I got 3 out of 4 actuators not working 😳
So, both of my truck doors are stuck closed. I’ve been googling and YouTubing to no avail. Can’t get into truck without breaking a window, I DO NOT want to do that. Anyone have any answers for this?
Hi, No i do not have an answer. Thanks!
Home depot sells a air pump bag that you put in between the car door , pump it until you have enough room to unlock with like a clothes hanger or any other things.
I hope this helps you.
