The driver's side sliding door won't unlock. It is not a power door, just the cheap model. The inside lock/unlock slider won't move to unlock the door either, it seems jammed. You can hear the electric motor trying to move the slider to unlock but to no avail. Anyone had that happen? How do I get the door open to work on it?
Thanks in advance

Your a little confusing. I am assuming that you meant you don't have the power door slide but have power door locks. So your manual door lock **** doesn't work either? Most likely the linkage is bent or dried out needing some lube.

 

Right, Leo. Power locks but not power assist open/close. The lock slider won't slide manually, the door won't open using either the outside or inside handle and the power lock tries but can't move the lock slider. I have an appointment with the dealer at 2:00 pm today, should be interesting.

 

I have a 07 LT and it has a manual **** to lock or unlock the lock, besides the lever to open the door

 

Yes, the manual **** wouldn't move much either. It moves with the power lock as well. The dealer took the door apart and lubricated the assy. inside. The door locks/unlocks like new now. We'll see how the grease job holds up. Dealer said that was the first one they found seizing like that. They charged me $47.95 for the repair

 

I'm having the same issue and they want to charge me $145 just to LOOK at it. Have you had to repeat this process at all? If so, is it something that can easily be done at home?

 

The door never acted up again.. works like new.

 

It sounds like you got off easy.
