Just replaced the outside door hanle on my 06 li. Accidently shut the door it will not open. Inside handle or outside handle. How can I get it open? Help!!
Have you verified you can lock and unlock the door? Just trying to narrow down the failure.
Can not unlock k door with key or inside mechanism.
Just for clarification, I don’t mean can you open the door, but does the lock sound / feel like it is actuating? Trying to narrow down if the lock is engaged and not actuating or if the latch release mechanism is disconnected.
The lock mechanism seems jammed up. The key wont fully travel in either direction, and the inside "switch wont travel fully in either direction.
The interior panel is not installed yet. I bumped the door shut before I got that far.
Should be able to reach in and pull the rod...
Nope. Jammed up
The outside handle moves as expected. The inside handle moves as expected. The door lock will not disengage with the key or the inside lever. If I could get it open i would disassemble everything and start over. Anyone know how to get it open in this situation?
