Tonight when we went into the store we locked the doors. When we came out and opened the doors , they would not close. It looked like the latch wouldn't open to allow the latch to close over the striker. Both front doors and pushing the locks up and down as well as trying to open and lock the doors with the keys. Had to bungee the doors closed to get home will take a look in the morning when I have light on the subject. Any suggestions as to where to start?? Thanks, Ron
Any possibilities of coats, clothing brushing against dooor and INADVERTANTLY latching them closed ? OK heres how to open the latch. Make sure door lock is in the UNLOCK position. With one hand , lift and HOLD up, OUTSIDE door handle, while taking your pointer finger and flipping open the latch on the side of the door. VOILA Hope this helps
Ensure that your car was not been hit wherein the door is not stable as in well aligned.
