Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / November 2007Dodge 3500, quad cab, 05, Drivers door lock jammed.
My truck has the drivers door lock jammed in the lock position. I can open the door from the inside only. The lock button is firmly stuck down. Someone told me these are magnetic and it is possible a faulty electrical connection. Is this possible? Thanks in advance for any help.

The inner knob actually moves a plastic tab into position that blocks the latch. If that broke it would cause this type of problem. SignatureSteve W.

If that broke it would cause this type of problem. yeah the one i just did on my '99 van was a convoluted plastic nightmare.. one itty bitty piece of plastic broke off and rendered the door un-openable. Matt, Take the inner door panel off and look. It is easy and fast. Refer to the manual. Essentially, remove 4 or 5 screws and lift the panel up, then out. Simply unplug the electrical connector for the window controls. The panel is held to the door with plastic inverted "L" clips Don't force it.
