-can someone tell me how to open the front passenger door on a 2002 Kia Sedona it's jammed I pulled the panel off and my pulled on the lock lever it's still not opening

hi adjust and reline the sensor limits to the door

door in passenger side will not open in the front

you can try fishing a coat hanger through the top of the door by prying out on it slightly and pushing the unlock button or snagin the actual lock lever thats aabout the only thing i know of

only one way i know off and thats to remove the front seats so the door panel can be taken off .its difficult i know but not insurmountable

a spring on the door latch has broken,if you cant pull the lock button up with your fingers then this is what for sure happened.you got to pull door panel off with the door closed, why?because there aint no other way to open it.take off window crank and the screw in the door pull cup there might be one in the upper front corner to. there are some that are in the door jam but you cant get those.just start pulling at one edge untill you get it off.i havent broken any yet so you might be lucky also.once off look for the broken sring ussually one piece will still be hanging from latch.find were the other end went and move the lever towards the the anchor hole. unlock and open door.remove latch from door and go to hardware store and get another spring or buy new latch from kia

should like water has frozen inside the door on the mech, its probely released by now , or water has cause a short in the door electrics

problem with audi a6 quatro. I cant open front seat door from outside. what i have to do? should i take it to car- repair place, or i can fix it by myself?

i just had to have this fixed on my 07 sedona on the bottom arm for the doors there are litle lock solinoids that go bad i would take it to a dealer to have it checked for the switch you can turn the power off to the doors and open them manualy but they are hard to open because you are pulling the cable instead of the motor doing it and this will not hurt the doors

It could mean the rod connecting the handle to the latch has broken. You'll need to remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. and you can access the innards of the door

My 2002 Kia Rio with manual locks also wouldn't unlock. the connecting rods would bend enough that I could pull the inside plunger up or turn the key, but in either case it would snap back when I let go, and the door remained locked.

The problem is a broken spring at the latch mechanism. Getting it unlocked is a matter of wiggling and banging the handles and lock until the lever the spring is supposed to control moves. The lever is in line with the car, so gravity might help if you park facing uphill or downhill. I wish I'd inspected the latch carefully enough to tell which.

Once the door is open, remove the interior door panel. The hard part is the window crank: push the heavy wire clip off the crank's shaft between the crank and the panel. Save the plastic sheet inside the panel; it protects the mechanisms from collecting moisture in your interior and rusting. A few screws and a snap or two will allow you to lift the panel up off the inside lip of the window.

The latch is held in by the 3 big screws in the door's edge, but you also need to disconnect some connecting rods that go to the various latch and lock handles. The plastic clips that hold the rods into their levers can be rotated to unsnap from the rod, the the rod can be pulled easily our of the clip. You'll see when you try it.

On mine, I found a broken spring that had connected two hooks right across the top of the latch mechanism. I came online to find a replacement spring or mechanism and ended up here, but my rubber band I cut from a bicycle inner tube is working fine for now.

Go ahead. Say something about fixing a broken Kia with a rubber band.
