Door locks won't let you shut the doors

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

Back hatch won~t open with remote or inside door locks will open manually nothing stuck or jammed?

Found this wiring diagram for lift gate, if that is what we're talking about? Not only check the fuses, check fuse circuit for voltage. Use a testlite.

If the passkey is messed up, there will be a light on the dash that says security, or have a picture of a car with a lock thru it. If there is no light when the key is turned forward, then its NOT a passkey problem.

Door lock staying locked so door cant clamp on to the striker

Hello and welcome to FIXYA, it sounds like you have two problems, first the door ajar switches in your truck are sticking, and causing the ajar light to remain on, and second the door lock actuator is shorted and getting stuck in the lock position. To repair the switches, obtain a can of brake cleaner and spray the door latch of each door for about 3 to 5 seconds, then open and close the door 10 times to work the cleaner into the switches. To fix the lock problem, you must first pull up on the knob in the door panel to unlock it. Then remove the door panel, and replace the door lock actuator.

When i push child lock button on my C220, doors automaticly locks and i can not open back doors from inside, but in 6-7 seconds I can open back doors from inside. Why child lock functioning 6-7 seconds?

If you want to keep the child-locks engaged, and doors unopenable from inside, you must set the lever by hand inside the rear door jam of each door. It should be marked, locked/unlocked or on/off. Are there other issues I am not addressing? I hope this was helpful.

Online tonight, TaterTodd
