Sounds like the link rod to the latch are jammed in the locked position by something inside the door or it came off. Any way, you have to remove the door panel to get access to it.

SOURCE: door wont open

take off the plastic door panel and then there should b some plastic paper covering move it aside and reach ur hand to the back of the door (your doing this blindly) pull the door hanle to find the rod, once you find it find the latch from the inside of the door now feel for a hole and find the end of the door handle rod and place the door handle rod in the hole firmly. this should work.

SOURCE: Most of the time the power door locks on my 1995

not sure here ,ok to be honest i dont know but the first thing i would do is to remove the door panels and give all the linkage a good oil with a oil can with engine oil in it ,where the solonoid is that operates the door lock for the central locking i would make sure the operating rod coming out of it got plenty and if i can get to it i would pull the rubber dust cover up and try to get some oil in their as well ,Now i dont know if this would work but it works on the VW golf and polos i work on and the porsche uses parts common to these cars

2000 buick century door wont open

Use a Slim Jim to pop the door open or have AAA do it for you. Once open take apart the interior side of the door to gain access to the door lock mechanism and reattach the control rods for the lock with new clips.

2006 passat drivers side door locks wont open from outside when unlocked using fob

It sounds like you might have two door latches that are faulty.... But you can try disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes and reconnect to see if that solves it. Sometimes VW's need their memory reset, have seen weird problems happen and this fixes it a lot of the time.

Car doors wont lock with remote

Sounds like the rod that goes from the lock to the key came off. There is usually a little plastic clip that holds it together and they break and you get what you are experiencing. You have to take the inside panel off of the door to get inside it.

My driver side door wont open how do i get it

sounds like the door lach is sticking
use some wd40 spray the lock and let it sit 4 a while
now since you have the inside skin off reach inside the door with 1 hand and try and open the door from the outside and see if the lock bar moves it usualy pushes down i think on a lach
if it goes up and down with no resistance make sure it is contacting the lach if yes make sure the door is unlocked
somtimes the lock is just stuck
after unlock open the door
push down on lock bar attached to lock then pull up on it if that fails to open door
after that all fails unlock door have friend pull handle and then give the door a good kick from inside just remember not the kick the glass

Sunburn 1994 handle wont work

Yes, Usually If you pull inside the lock area incorrectly, it will cause the rod to detach from the door latch. The door panel will have to come off and the rod, located and reattached. The retaining clip probably is damaged so inspect it and you should be able to find a replacement at NAPA or local dealership.

2004 Civic Drivers door lock

The driver's side door lock button is designed not to lock from the inside unless the handle is pulled, or the power switch is used. This serves as a reminder to not lock your keys inside.

If you are inside, and push down on the button (not the switch) hard enough to lock it, you've probably damaged it.
