I have a 2002 ford escape and my passenger door will not open, i can hear the click of lock , locking and unlocking but door is just stuck closed?

Manually unlock the door and then once door is open you should be able to access the child lock.

Corrosion is generally part od the problem that won't let your locks open, but the locks will close.

I had the same problem


Thanks, Terry

Put your ear close to the door and activate the lock/unlock. If you hear click click there is a loose/disconected lever which is moving without activating the lock. If you hear nothing something is stuck or dead. Open door panel and clean system then check again. Might need replacing the unit in the door.

door in passenger side will not open in the front

There is a tiny switch inside the door called the "Door Ajar" sensor, remove the door panel and replace that switch, it is attached to the door latch, it just twists out and back in.

i would look at all of my plugs

Did you try pulling the door handle? they normally over ride the lock, also a coat hanger will unlock it so yuo can get tothe door to fix.

Child / Passenger safety switch is engaged?

Using a multimeter, check for voltage at the lock/unlock solenoid. Disconnect the connector and probe the unlock side with the other lead on a good ground. Hit the unlock twice and see if you get voltage. If yes, the solenoid may be defective or if not, you could possibly have a bad relay. Even though you can hear the relay, that doesn't necessarily mean it's completing the circuit. My car did the same thing and I ended up replacing the relay.
The lock side check would be the same.

Hope this helps!
