Drivers door unlocked but wouldn't open
« on: 24 December 2013, 15:41:19 »

Just spent and entertaining couple of hours hacking a hole in the drivers door card to get at the lock mechanism, the central locking worked fine but you couldn't open the door with either handles.

A search through the forum turned up this thread

Mine was in one piece and not as worn..

After breaking off the plastic cover over the lock I found a lever that operated on the four pointed cog just wasn't engaging properly, by the use of a screwdriver got the lever to engage and the lock came open...

Its a bit of a struggle getting in the passenger side and clambering over to the other side...

At least you got it open, replacement card shouldn't be to bad money wise

Door cards no longer available from GM, so you'd have to get one from a breaker.
