Door Lock Broken/Stuck.

[Dazzo]

I am currently having this issue with my driver-side door lock and plan to take the door apart tomorrow to investigate, but I was curious if anyone here has had a similar problem before and could potentially speed the process/eliminate some troubleshooting. Sometimes when unlocking the car with my clicker only the passenger side door would unlock leaving the driver side door locked, but the driver side door could be unlocked manually with the key or inside with the switch. Fast forward a few weeks and the driver-side lock switch is completely stuck and unable to be manually opened from the inside without excessive wiggling/force, but even if it is moved to the unlocked position the door remains locked and can only be opened manually from the outside with the actual key. Anyone have a similar issue or potential fixes? A video example is attached.

You might try spraying some silicone spray in and around the latch then let it sit for a few hours - you might get lucky. If not, consider taking off the door panel and spraying everything, even remotely attached to the lock.

I asked Bubba and he says to pound on the latch with the palm of your hand, three times, hard.

My driver door won’t open from the inside, I had to take the panel off and reattach the ball on the cable, it did it 2x so don’t pop your door handles too fast.
