You have very few options with this one. Child lock switches are designed to be hard to get to so they can't be turned off by accident.
Your best option is to take the vehicle to a good mechanic or a good bodywork specialist and have them do it.
What do you mean by the door handle is 'Broken'? Is it loose and one one piece or is it physically broken off?
To fix this yourself your going to have to 'break' something to get to the problem. If the outside handle is broken off, you could try using a piece of wire to hook the release mechanism through the hole left by the handle. If it isn't, you could also try removing the door card inside the vehicle to access the release from inside the door. That's where you might need to damage the panel to get it off!
Hi. Try : unlock the car ( push open 3 times) open doors from outside ( make sure they unlocked) switch child lock to lock position and back to open. Pull again on the handle after you switch before you close the door. Let me know if it helped.
We, meaning my husband and me as helper) rather than breaking the interior panel, which a replacement is difficult to find, removed the broken outside door handle, and maneuvered the rod manually, simulating the movements of the door handle. The door opened and we clicked the child lock off and then replaced the exterior handle.
the inside door handle is probably broken. the cable may have popped out but usually its because the clips on the inside door handle break off. luckily you can just replace the handle and not have to get a whole new door panel
the only thing that could have happened is the child safety locks are on. that is why you can not open them from the inside and the outer handles have broken . the thing to do now is to use a tool called a slim jim to open the doors . then unlock the child safety locks so you can still use the doors until outer handles are replaced.
It sounds like the plastic connecting bit that links the outside door lever to the rod, that operates the door mechanism, has broken or become disconnected. To check, you will need to remove the trim on the inside of the door, after removing any screws and the inside door lever. However now that the child safety lock has been set it could be very difficult to get the door open. All I can suggest is that you look at the other rear door to locate the position of the safety tab and then try to disengage it by using a suitable thin blade or something on your bad door so that you can again use the inside lever. Once you have the inside trim off and the plastic sheet, you will see an access hole for the door mechanism and the outside operating handle of the door. It should be attached to the actuating rod by the aforementioned plastic bit. If plastic bit appears OK try re-attaching it or replacing it if broken. If the part of the handle which attaches to the rod is broken, the handle will need replacing.
try switching off the child lock. but if it doesn't work your guess might be right. usually the door handls are plastics, easily breaks when forced. just try prying of one of the edge of the door panel and try to peep through just to be sure.
