How to open a stuck door on a Hyundai or Kia ? Need to open to replace lock Actuator?

This is a easy way to open a stuck door. This is 2017 Hyundai Tucson with two doors actuators that are failing and the doors are still closed. Hope it helps.

I'm surprised there is no recalls for this issue. Same thing has happened to my right rear passenger door, got the dealership to fix that one and now it's happening to the left side passenger door! Driving me nuts! Update: right after I posted this initially, I then tried your method and to my surprise it popped open!!! Thank you sir!

I’m glad it helped you with your vehicle. I agree, it should have been a recall!

I tried on my 2014 santa Fe, didint work, itr driving me crazy
Its lock close and cant open from the out or inside.

[@alleycatparts]

Your gonna have to use a small screw driver or pick to pull cable from inside or pull from under outside door handle. It’s videos online showing this… least it will get it open. Sorry the other way didn’t work. Did you try hitting it multiple times while pull door Handles? Sometimes it takes 4-5 good hits

I have an Elantra with same problem since 15 days a go. Is a headache. I reviewed and quit the panel, it takes so much time, you must disassemble the glass, wires, conectors, bolts, handle.... the actuator is very hide behind the door. i couldn't reach it.
A new actuator cost 50 usd.
If You know a trick tell us.

[@alleycatparts]

I had to remove everything you stated to replace them. It’s no other way around it. Took me about 2.5 hrs to replace two. You can get the actuator on eBay and save cost unless you want OEM…

@@alleycatparts thanks a lot bro. I will try to loose the counter piece on chasis, maybe it block the oberture. It is absurd. I spent a full day to watch out the system detaching all panel and wires. If have good result i'll tell you.
