Thread: DII front passenger door won't open

you may need to take the seat out so you can open up the inner door skin and operate the lock mechanism manually

Thanks for the reply Lucus. I should have mentioned that this has already been done.

The thing that concerns me most is, where do I go from here, if I cannot make the lock mechanism work at all even when manipulating it directly?

Thanks, Will

try putting the key into the lock and turning it as if you were to unlock it (even if it is already unlocked), and then operate the door handle at the same time.. this is what i have to do with mine sometimes as i have to replace the door lock springs

good luck

Thanks for the reply Eddie. The only problem is that as it is the passenger door, there is no lock to put the key in...

oh thats right, the D2's dont have a lock on the passenger front door... My bad. Try to open it from the inside while holding the lock button up with the other hand.. maybe that might work..

any luck?

Will find out tomorrow night when I go and try to get the door open. I'll keep you all informed as to what happens and how we get the door open (assuming we can).

Thanks, Will

Did you connect the electrics?
I believe that the security system completely disconnects the door latch mechanism, so you may need to have it connected, then arm/disarm the security.
