door jammed - HELP!!
Hi, my passenger front door is stuck closed! It's a ZT.... central locking is working,..... interior and exterior handles will not open the door, I have managed to remove the door card from inside, but cannot see any issue / release the door.
Anyone know how to get a closed door open when it appears the lock catch must be stuck / broken! All started yesterday when my wife didn't wait for me to open the central lock on her door before yanking the outside door handle... Thanks for any suggestions! |

The connector rod from the mechanism to the lock will have become detatched.
Put the window down, and i'd advise disconnecting the battery if you can as if it's deadlocked the window can activate which will trap your fingers.....and bones dont stop the motor....I know. You'll see a rod going into the lock, just lever it up to operate the lock. |
