Thanks, man this was a big help. tried everything to on this Altima divers door ripped out the door panel and was unable to manually activate it. I saw your video 6 hrs too late the whole day's gon lol but thanks to your hanger trick I tried it on the passenger door and in less than 5 mins was able to get the drivers free. Big ups
My sons latch wouldn't release even when I did this. So I pulled the B pillar cover looked in bottom large hole and drilled a one inch hole behind the latch. Then I took a large flathead screwdriver and a hammer and destroyed the plastic latch cause i was replacing it anyway. Now if it happens again I can get the door open and change the actuator in 15mins tops. Nissan should build better vehicles.
Same here with a 2010 Altima passenger door locked. Was able to remove the door panel. Now I have to figure out the wire method. Any input is appreciated. Update: the wire did not work. I ended up cutting the old actuator using a dremel, there is plenty room for it. It worked.
This didn’t work for me. I ran the hangar along the black metal U fixture that the door locks on - and nothing was actually on it. It seems to be the gear in the actuator that locks and unlocks the door. Disconnected the rod from keyhole to actuator (plastic fitting holding rod). My idea was to keep clicking the unlock button and putting pressure on the direction the rod would have pushed the plastic arm of the actuator. After 2 clicks, the plastic arm gave way like it stripped and the door was able to be opened. About 11 hours over 2 days and got it. Lined it up good with WD-40 silicone and regular spray. Seems to be working good. Will leave door panel off, just in case. And will replace actuator in the next week. 🙂
I have a 2012 Altima and my passenger rear door is stuck locked and the cable got broke all the way to the actuator any tips on how I can get the door open
Zero One I did but it was pure luck it just randomly opened one day so I swapped out actuators I did have to go to a junkyard for the parts though because nobody had them
That procedure you tried to show won't work on my sister in law's Versa. Cannot access that side of the latch when you he door is closed! Not a good video!
You can access it but you can't see it, you have to make your tool and reference the location of the latch bases on the other side. It can be time consuming but it works. The only alternatives I've seen to it are cutting it and breaking it with a chisel.

This worked for me, thanks so much for posting this!
id love to see you do it at all cause it's impossible
Big help, I have My own “wire design” now after some trials. I will earn some bucks as a handy man 😊😅 on parking lots.

Warm your car up and wait a while if you can get in another door

Jesus Christ, can you get some actual useful lighting? I thought I was seeing the Virgin Mary.
