    Default Rear Door lock stuck/ wh caprice

    Help, my left rear door is stucked lock on wh caprice. When I press the remote I can here the motor working and can see the lock move a little but it does not open. I tried everything like dissconecting battery and open it but its stuck closed. I try to pull it up but does not budge. I opened the door handle from inside and can see two rods (one for the door handle and one for the lock) going to the back of the door. Any help will be appreciated. Also the door is closed and I cannot open the door panel because there ae screws on the side.

    Get in the car, Lock the car with the remote, And as u press the unlock button on the remote to unlock all the door's pull UP on the lock as it's unlocking...
    U must have a faulty actuator but doing the above will unlock it if u get the timing right.
    Stucked??...

    Now I have two doors stuck OMG. Now my passenger door is stuck also. I think something else wrong with my car. When I press the remote sometimes two doors open, sometimes one, sometimes three. Also my windows sometimes they open fast sometimes slow. Whenever I open a lock I hear a clicking noise from under the glove box in the passenger seat and the lights on the dashboard dim. Sometimes my cd player gets stuck, the buttons do not work. i think its somethin electrical. Any idea? I dissconected the battery and gonna leave it unplugged the whole night and lets see what happens in the morning.

    I was lucky. When I went to my car to reconnect my battery I found out that my driver side door will not unlock. I rotated the key but would not unlock. I could see it move a little but did not go up. I was stuck. The battery was disconnected so my remote did not work. Luckily I put my hand under the car and unscrewed the bonnet till it was lose. Then I took a hanger and slided it in the bonnet and made the wire connect to the battery and unlocked with my key. Now all three of my doors will not unlock, except the driver door. So much security put in the car. How do you turn it off.

    My front passenger door once refused to unlock.
    I locked the car, then pressed and held the lock button again until the indicators flashed for 3 seconds, pressed unlock twice to unlock all the doors and voilą - doors all unlocked. Hasn't been a problem since.

    The lock pin doesn't go up when you open your car with the key and the battery is disconnected. I would be wondering if your car has been water damaged... Something is wrong with that wiring because generally Commodores are pretty good apart from things like door handles, lock actuators, window switches and window regulators working usually the wiring is pretty good but your problems seem too many to be all individual things failing.

    Yup its my door lock actuators. by locking unlocking several times I manged to open three doors. My rear driver door still stuck. How I now its actuator is because I can see the button wiggle and door mechanism work. How expensive are the door actuator, I am going to replace them. Still have to open my rear door.
