A few weeks ago my left back tire blew out on the highway and tread slapped my wheel weld - from then on my left sliding door wouldnt open - it would unlatch but not go back. this was due to the interlock that keeps the door from opening if your feul door is open. i reached up under the partial mudflap closest to the door and found the module. Its white plastic about 2 or 3 inches big connected to a cable - cant miss it - it has a large black switch about 1 inch long and half an inch wide - i simply pressed this black switch til it clicked and released the door. opened fine. until i closed it and tried again. the switch had engaged. I have no way of lifting my van as a single mother of two toddlers - a real fix is out of the question rght now. So I used good ol duck tape and taped that switch down. Works like a charm now :)
If the sliding door will not close on the 2005 Saturn Relay, look for something that is stuck in the door latch area. Also check the latch to see if it has come out of adjustment. The pin or hook might need to be adjusted or tightened.
Try disconnecting your battery and reconnecting it this should reset the door.
Unscrew the latch. or put oil on the hinges for the latch to move and see if you can move it.
To fix a trunk latch that is stuck open, the teeth on the lock may have to be adjusted so the trunk will close. It is also possible that the cable for the trunk latch is broken. To fix the gas cap door latch may require a little bending and adjusting with a pair of pliers.
You put your fingers on the latch and pull down. the latch is stuck closed will not operate auto or manual
You can open a stuck hood by removing the hood latch. The hood latch can be access through the front grill. Remove the code latch retaining bolts. The hood should be free to open.
you just have to push up on the latch
"My lock is stuck"?
The latch is attached to linkages... you have to grab those linkages and pull them in the direction that the latch would've pulled them (usually inward).
To open a stuck door on a 2000 Kia Sephia, remove the door panel and check the latch mechanism. It is likely to be bent. Better to replace the latch mechanism.
When trunks get older, sometimes the latches get stuck. To fix them a person needs to add oil to the latch to loosen up the parts of the lock and turn the key hard.
