Hi All,
I have a really annoying problem. Last night I got home from work and my door would not open from the inside. So, I rolled down the window and tried to open from the outside.... wouldn't work. No matter what I try, I cannot get the door open. I believe it is the latch itself that is broken, the connections to both the inside and outside handle do not work.
So the question... How do I open the door latch with the door closed?
I used a stubby phillips screw driver on the bottom of the door panel and am able to get inside the door, but nothing I try will open the door.
My latest effort was to try and unscrew the door latch striker from inside the door, but the head of the torx screw is too big.
Has anybody every dealt with this before? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Tommy
