Your lock cylinder has fail in what is called central arrest which it mechanically disengages both inner and outer door handles to work. We at the dealer can try and command the GM module which controls that actuator to try and release central arrest. But if it fails to respond the only way to access the lock cylinder is by removing the door panel from the inside of the vehicle, which is very dificult to do, so cost wise it can be double the labor cost if the door can be opened. At our dealer it would be like 2.5hrs to do.

2006 Citroen C4. How to open rear door which is manually locked.

Question edited for clarity, year make model first and wrong type of 'witch' (lady in a pointed hat and a broomstick) and 'which'.

You are trying to redesign the vehicle to make it work like you want it to. You can't do that, just get it fixed to work electronically.

Hit the door lock with the remote or dr. side will lock all the doors so they won't open from the outside. If you open the rear doors, on the outside edge of the doors is a lever that will allow the rear doors to operate from the inside. Hope that helps

Door is loked on rear driver side want open

Won't open from outside? Won't open from inside? Equipped with power door locks? IF so, and won't open inside/outside, suspect stuck power door lock actuator. Sometimes working the lock/unlock button will make the door unlock. If not, the door will require disassembly from inside to determine what the failure may be. If the door needs disassembly while in the closed position, the paneling/clips may get damaged FYI

How do i remove the inside rear door panel on a 2008 infiniti fx-35

If it opens from the outside, check on the door itself near the latch assembly for a little black lever that moves back and forth...that is the child safety rear door lock and when engaged, wont allow the door to open from the inside...setting the lever to free position should allow door to open (pg 3-5 of owners manual)

Have 2000 hyundai elantra cannot open both rear doors from inside or outside.They seem to be locked.called dealer want 90.00 just to look. how can door panel be removed without opening door?

Sounds to me like the child locks are on. Make sure the doors are unlocked first( if they are power locks unlock them manually to make sure they are unlocked), then try to open from the outside. It's just odd that both doors are doing the same thing. If that works, and you get both doors open, there is a small switch to disable the child lock near the latch on the door.

Door panels generally can not be removed with the door closed. There are plastic rivets that pop out when pulling the door panel away from the door frame.
