This is new, went to go someplace with my daughter and I was going to sit in the back. Neither rear door would unlock by pulling up on the knob (manual locks). The knob does comes up. So, is there a way to unlock the doors so I can take the panel off to see what happened? Very odd it happened to both.

06 LS.

 

Well if they are closed and cant be opened you should try and remove the rear bottom seat portion to give you room to remove the panel but not sure how much room that will give you

 

This may sound strange but had it happen to me already. Push in on the outside of the door while pulling the handle and see if that works.

 

Thanks guys, been trying to figure out out what to do. Already been thinking to find a replacement door panel in case I have to destroy this one.

 

Could be sticking. Spray some silicon lube down the lock hole. As for the panel, it's just clips. If you have a clip pry bar, that will make life a lot easier. A butter knife works as well.

 

I have removed that panel before, the tools not an issue. The lock seems like its disconnected some how. Problem is room to get the panel off..... With it closed.

 

I remember a long time ago that when I had a sedan, a buddy of mine got the buckle lodged in the door jam, and we were unable to open the door at all. If I remember it correctly, I had to remove the door itself from the bolts inside the driver door jam.

 

I hope that's not the case....lol I think the lock rod disconnected somehow with the way it moved. Has no stop anymore.

 

Well, that's how I was able to "open the door", by removing it from the car.

 

Will have to see, needs the temps to come up some. 14 y/o plastic is already brittle.
