Want this question answered?
Does the latch panel have to be removed
you must unscrew the door exterior as the interior pulls out and unpresses pressure off the bumblebee tootsie rools
If you mean the courtesy lights on the ceiling, check them both and make sure the switch on the light itself is set to "door". They both have a switch that says "OFF/ON/DOOR".
I have dealt with this problem before at our bodyshop. Basically, a spring inside the latch has broke, and now there is no way to release the latch, even by manually pulling on the release lever at the latch. Prepare to replace the latch, as it is not repairable. Be prepared to be working inside the car. To make it easier to work, unbolt the seat, and remove from the car. Remove the door panel, and also the door handle. You will have to chisel at the plastic part of the latch, and break it off bit by bit. Eventually you will be able to release the latch. good luck
the button ,for the latch is in glove box on left hand side
sounds like the release mechanism is sticking, try spaying WD-40 in the latch, (on the door) where the door closes . It's also possible that your door latch is already in the locked position.
This happened to both front driver & passenger side door locks on my GS300. Its the Actuator. The part is about $200(?) from Lexus and I believe that was the only place I could get it from. Now my backseat passenger side is going out :(
Replace the door latch.
to answer my question , i took the door panel off then pressed down on the release and the latch opened w/ the help of a screwdriver. thanks, Cornell
If the door latch on a 1999 Chevrolet Blazer is broken on the car frame, a new latch might have to be welded in. The old door latch will have to be cut out with a torch. If the latch is broken on the door, a new door might be cheaper than welding in a new latch.
The latch is under the front of the hood. The release handle is at the left side of the interior near the driver's door.
I have the same problem with my truck. What happens is the bottom door latch gets rusty and worn out and doesn't like to release. There are three torx bit screws on the bottom of the latch. Replace it and you should be good to go!
