Hi

Have u tried , keep pressing the dashboard button to unlock , whilst having someone pull the inside handle open

But as you’ve removed the door card will just be the cable, if that doesn’t work try the outside door handle

Last thing is pulling the outside and inside together

Good luck Thumbs Up

Hi

Sounds like the actuator has completely failed, know when my door failed shut I was lucky enough by pressing the dashboard button lock / unlock again and again whilst pulling the inside handle and came open

When u removed the door card u would have disconnected a cable from the interior door handle , u should be able to pull that as it will still be connected to the actual lock

Ref the dashboard button can u hear anything at the door when u press it lock and unlock

Hope that helps Thumbs Up

Thks, can u hear the other doors clicking when u press the lock / unlock button

Reason I ask just in case it’s popped a fuse as indeed need to get it out of the deadlock situation

Can imagine it being very frustrating

See if I can in the mean time find some info for u, maybe someone will be along in what they’ve done when the lock / unlock has failed

Ur welcome , but wondering if u can actually gain access to the actuator itself whilst in situ

Of course u don’t want to damage the door, wonder if a dremel could be used to open the lock cover to allow u access, know there’s screws that hold it in but located in the door jam which u can’t access at the moment

Alas I was very lucky , haven’t found any threads yet what others have done when the lock has completely failed

Just wondering what options u have and if using a dremel to cut open the actuator would actually work

Sorry that’s not much help to u

Did u say u tried holding the outside handle pulled out and then keep pulling the inside cable didn’t work

If I find anything will post it here for u

That’s a shame as I was just thinking if gaining access to the motors would possibly help

Have u also removed the glass as I’m thinking if u can get ur hand onto the actuator and break it off, know you would end up replacing the door handle as well but just thinking of the alternatives

Hopefully someone will be along with a better idea

Ps, just a thought , have u got the child lock on as that will of course disable the interior handle working, if so have u tried pulling the inside cable whilst then pulling the outside handle
