Hi!
My drivers door was stuck closed the other day due to ice. I was able to thaw it and got it to open but now its stuck open and the latch is in the position it would be in if the door were closed! This time it is NOT ice because I parked it in a garage to let it thaw and it's still stuck in that position. Obviously I cannot drive the vehicle like this because the door will not close with the latch mechanism in the closed position; right now it just swings freely open. Any thoughts on what is broken/stuck? if nothing else, any links to show me how to successfully remove innards to get a a look at the latch system in the door itself? -------------------- |

try to spray some de icer inside the lock mechanism. chances are the spring broke and wont latch close, or may be stuck. you have to take a look inside...
