Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / October 2005Stuck Door Lock - AARGH!! - VT Commodore
Help help help, please! I recently went to open the passenger door of my VT and realised it was locked. Stupidly, I went to unlock the door with my remote when the handle was still 'up' a little... It's now jammed and won't unlock. When you lock the doors the lock knob doesn't go quite all the way down, and when you unlock it doesn't come all the way up. We've tried wiggling, jiggling, forcing, banging and swearing... any ideas, short of drilling a hole in the trim and ripping it off to get to the locking mechs? > Help help help, please! > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > short of drilling a hole in the trim and ripping it off to get to the > locking mechs? Just a quick idea: try reversing what caused it in the 1st place--try locking it with the remote while lifting the handle.

HTH, s Another quick idea is to make a *slim Jim* out of thin bar metal, and slip it down between the weatherproofing rubber and the window glass, trying to *unhook* whatever is stuck. I would try that, keeping in mind there are wires and motors in there, and you really don't want to tear up the wires and motor ;-\ HTH Lg |
