Whatever the problem is, the button should be able to be pulled up. It seems the door is deadlocked.
I did not read your first post right, thought it was two doors, sorry my fault.

Yes mate,thats what i was going to say,still should open manually.

(your title says doors plural, hence some confusion)

My apologies for the confusion. just abit worried as i have my babies in the back.

no problemo - its just significant in diagnosing the problem.

Have you tried pulling up on the knob really hard (so to speak..  )

[Anthony]

yeah tried hard but it feels like something pulling it back down, if that makes sense, also tried pulling when using the fob but same results.
We have had real heavy rain down here and this door is facing the rain is it possible water has got in?

Anthony

The rain should not get in contact with any electtrics inside the door, and the child lock has to be a coincidence. Good luck.

Coming in late on this thread, but all I can add is that when my passenger solenoid was dying it would frequently completely lock up the door, with the button absolutely refusing to come up, no matter how hard pulled, just like in this case.  Then, on numerous occasions, it would suddenly come back up when unlocking the rest of the car, especially after sitting unused for a couple of days.

Therefore it may be worth leaving it at the moment, using the rest of the doors as normal, but if you can leave the car unused for a couple of days (over a weekend was best for me).  When it does finally 'pop up' that is the time to either fit a new solenoid, or take the door card off so you can always get to the mechanism to unlock manually.

Thanks Lizzie, sounds good. I am baffled about it going into "Deadlock Mode" though.

[Anthony]

Thank you all again i'll see if it pops back up and fix it then.

ok so i've just been sitting in the car with nothing on, i've tried the windows and i am getting a faint buzzing but no movement in the windows.so i guess that it is a elec supply problem. does this sound right?

Anthony

[Anthony]

hello, ok left it over the weekend and still no joy, is there anyway i can get the door open, or do you think i'll have to go to a garage and get mugged?

cheers

might sound strange this but is the speaker working on the offending door ?.

from what you say ........ door is  dead locked / windows inop. ( both these are on totally differant electric circuits ) 

all the above go though a multi pin plug that conects the electrics to the door loom.

pull up the carpet / remove the plastic trim around the "b" pillar. ( thats the one with the front seatbelt in ) and see if you can find the loom that goes through to the door and trace it back through the car 

it sounds to me that its a electrical problem and all the elecrics for that door goes through that loom / plug 

if everything failed at one then it has to be a place where all the circuits meet

cheers will do a bit of investigation and report back

A long shot but have you tried using your key fob to lock / unlock the doors with the ignition turned to position 2?

I found this solved a similar snag for my car the other day after finding the battery completely flat having been stood for 4 months.

it may sound very strange but my front passenger door has the same locking problem and occassionaly, as now will not open. pulling the knob up manually is impossible.
how  ever i use a pair of pliars and pull it up.
it sounds drastic but works and does not appear to do any more harm.
waiting for new solinod to replace the current one
