There is a metal rod that connects the inside handle to the door latch mechanism. It is locked in place by plastic fasteners. One has fallen off the end of the rod. Opening the door panel requires special tools to prevent permanent damage to the panel.

SOURCE: I have a '93 Buick Regal Custom. Last year I was

I have this problem every year with my car, 1993 buick regal custom, 3.8. What happens is it gets cold, warms up a bit, and ice or snow melts and gets in the door, then it gets cold again and it freezes. I go to unlock and open the door from the outside and this problem arises.

There is a vertical rod on the left side of the drivers side, right side of the passenger side, that gets bent, from trying to open the door when that mechanism is frozen up. Just bend it back, a TINY bit and it will start working.

I got tired of taking my door apart every time it happened so i cut a little "door" in the cover thing, so i can get at that bar.

I also tried coating it in grease and that seems to lessen the frequency.

I have a 2004 bmw x5, that the 2 rear doors wont open from the inside or the outside after replacing the door handles.

I am not familiar with this model but have experienced a similar nightmare on a very model. I suspect that the child safety locks are set which is stopping you opening the doors from the inside and the outside handles are not working because the latches may have been set in the locked position.

How do you fix the cargo doors on a 2005 dodge dakota. they dont open

door handle latch could be loose, but kind a weird happend on booth doors, souds more like child lock protection: Child Protection Door Lock Location
To use the system, open each rear door, use a flat blade
screwdriver (or valet key) and rotate the dial counter-clockwise to engage the lock and clockwise to disengage
the child protection locks. When the system on a door is
engaged, that door can only be opened by using the
outside door handle even if the inside door lock is in the
unlocked position.

2009 Hyundai Elantra SE - Driver side rear door won't open from the inside or outside.

You will need to remove the inside door panel, what that takes I don't know, but it must come off to access the door latch, there you will likely find the latch release control rod has come off or the latch is defective.

Bmw troubleshoot

Has anyone been inside the door panel recently? If so it is possible they did not plug the actuator connector back up. using a pencil, try to engage the latch and lock it. Does it lock? Does it release when you pull the inside or outside handle? The latches can internally fail without notice. It is possible the actuator is frozen. If it is it will need to be replaced.

Can not open back door on 2003 blazer. i'm trying to use emergency latch not working....

If you can't open the door from either the inside or outside, and the lock is moved to the "unlock" position, then the latch itself may be bad. First try manually locking and unlocking the door several times to see if the lock mechanism has gotten full of crud and see if that helps any. If it opens from the outside but not the inside then the child safety latch might be engaged which prevents the door from being opened accidentally from the inside by young children or the inner door handle linkage [in the door] might be broken. If nothing you do helps at all then you many have to remove the inner door panel to get to the latch linkage inside the door and try opening it there by manually moving these linkage rods. [not easy to do when the door won't open] Usually one of these methods will get the door open. Good luck and hope this helps a bit.

2006 Impala - driver side passenger door won't open-

Sounds like the latch is stuck in the intermediate position. the actuator or latch probably needs replaced. Go to the dealer on this one.

Remove the inner door panel and check to make sure that the linkage rod that goes between the outer handle and the latch is connected. It's possible that the plastic end clip broke.
