    Default help with my door ?

    passenger side door wont unlock at all ? not with the button, not with trying to open it with the lock on the inside like just lifting it up ? nothing is snaps back down shut... any1 have any clues as to what this might be and how i can fix it ?

    Cheers

    It will stay that way with the battery disconected.

    The only thing I can suggest is to deadlock the the main door again then unlock it while the battery is conected.

    Have you taken the door card off yet? Its looks tricky but if you pull the rear seats out you might be able to manage.

    Door cards are easy to get off but the issue is having the door closed while doing it is going to limit how much you can actually pull off. Especially since the lock wont go up and you need to get to the screw behind it to at least get some of the door card off. Does it lift at all? Maybe if you had someone force it up and hold it there long enough for you to get the clip off and unscrew it and then go from there

    Lol yah, just flick that stupid orange clip off then the lock slides up and there is a screw in behind. I am surprised you got the card off that way but whatever works is goodly

    Yeh I would recommend it your way (the right way), I wreaked my door card a bit, but you can hardly tell. I did something to make the fibre board break but i didn't break the vinyl. and then I stretched it off!
