98 Coupe door locked!!
Hi there,
I have a 98 2L Coupe. Last week the door locked and will not unlock.
when I press the remote key fob I can hear the two clicks, same when I pull the pin up from inside, and no luck when pulling the innner door handle, the door refuses to open!
1. Any ideas on how to get the door open so I can remove the inner panel to effect repairs?
2. Any thoughts on what the cause of the actual fault with the door locking mechanism could be?
many thanks in advance...
Tony

I thought there was a sticky on this in the FAQ... nope don't see it. IIRC its a limit switch that is inside the actuator that becomes stuck in the lock position.

Re: 98 Coupe door locked!!
How did you ever manage to get out of car!?!?.. jk
Is the pin going back in when u pull it up?
Do you have a slimjim? (some cops have it to if you know one that can help u ex. neighbor) maybe a Pop a Lock near by?.
Maybe if you can find a way to manually pull that lock up, it should hopefully let you back inside.
From there id pull the panel off like you said and start checking everything out.

Re: 98 Coupe door locked!!
Thanks to all of the above but to no avail.....
I have managed to get the top part of the inner door trim off and taken the passenger side door trim off for comparison.....
All of the internal workings of the lock/handles appear to be working correctly as compared to the passenger door
Any suggestions are GREATLY APPRECIATED!! I'm getting too old to keep climbing in through the passenger side!!
