just like the questions says, my accord's driver side door is stuck. i have a '90 accord 4-door. i dont know what happen, all that one day it open, and the next, its shut tight. its the door that the driver opens. does anyone know what may had happen or how i could open the door. i've already torn the inside out to almost the metal frame, but it still wont open. i took a crobar to the outside where the door meets with the car and its still wont budge. its like super lock or something. and all the other doors are fine (i can lock and unlock them). i think that its the lock mechanism, but im not sure. anyone!!! i need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i am sure its the hinge.. someone has a fix or problem a few days back.. search around.. in like pages 4-5
sorry i cant do it for ya

 

You are in for a world of hurt. Buy the latch and drill your old one out. I just did mine on Saturday at home. Not a fun repair. Let me know if you have passive restraint seat belts or not and I'll get you the Honda part #. I'll also try to e-mail you the repair procedure. It is the latch, trust me. See my previous posts. Just 2-3 days ago. I'll help any way that i can.

What Trim Level do you have?? You could try Honda Customer service and they will laugh at you like they did me. 1-800-999-1009. They told me that at 188,000 miles I'm lucky that it didn't happen sooner.

hey thanks a lot. i got a quote of 800 from the shop

 

HI, I have the same problem, Do you know ow to get the door open?

Thanks

 

wd 40

 

it's like the latch is still locked internally. Locks go up and down door handles move just like the door is locked. it's like the latch does not unlock so the door handles don't open the door. It worked perfect one minute and then no go. Can't open the door. Tried wd40 banging on things etc. I think I need to take the door latch out and replace it but this is hard to do with the door closed. Any ideas???

 

well the website that had the nice instructions to fix this...seems to have disappeared.... luckily I still have the PDF... you have to get behind the door pannel and drill the latch, from inside the door... heres the link... good luck.. i had to do this on my 1991 accord... 20F outside... yea it was a bitch, but doable. i got a new latch on ebay for my car... my luck it'll fail too. haha. oh well i guess.
