Did the dealer do the body work? If not, I'd take it to another dealer and not mention the body work...
also (i'm guessing you tried, but i'll ask). have to tried to do the following: - open from inside - unlock (manually - on door) and open from inside - unlock (manually - on door) and open from outside

I can easily see how this would happen. Has the the door panel ever been removed? Upon reinstallation, if the lock switch cable wasn't properly seated into it's groove and poped loose, you could lose function of the switch, which I think you have. The panel needs to be taken off to correct the problem. How to open the door first, not sure...

Take the door panel off. It takes all of 10 minutes and the locking mechanism is really simple. I'd bet that is where your problem is.

the issue is taking the panel off... i'm not sure if you can do it with the door closed, i'll check when I go for lunch and post when I get back if no already has.

but for me, it didn't deal with the locks, but the cable/link on the door latch (i think).

Above post says it all

Hello
I got it fixed !!!
I did it myself it took awhile to get the panel open. and it wasnt the cable or anything the locking mechanism was jammed so i just gave it a push and it stated working fine very odd it was working a good 6 months since my body work on it nehows thanks evryone for your input just in case someone else has the same issue to get the door panel open with the door close 1/open window 2/grab the panel edge where the window opens and 3/ pull up and out 4/ use alot of force!! the entire panel wont open but enough to get your hand into the locking mechanism |
