I don't know if its because of the cold weather or what, but my drivers side door lock has ceased functioning. As a result, I can't even close the door anyone, because it decided to seize up when the door was open. The latch is in the 'Lock' position and since the door is open and the latch won't move, I can't close the door, and it just slams into the 'n' shaped bracket on the door. This sucks. Anyone encountered this problem or have any ideas?

 

IIRC u should be able to move it back to the open position. try a big screwdriver to pry it back

 

Is the open position toward the inside of the car or away?

 

how about u take a look at the other door and see what the latch looks like. might want to spray some wd40 or something in the latch that is stuck

 

Fixed it at least for the time being. Thank you.
