My door latch on the back door of 1992 cutlass ciera is stuck in the wrong position and i can't close the door what should i do

This has already been answered...Here's a copy
Open the car door and pull on the release latch that you use to open the car door from the inside to get out. At the same time use a screwdriver to push up the latch on the side of the door. Sometimes the seatbelt gets caught on the door when you close it causing the latch on the side to close prematurely

If you know the door latch is in the closed position, then I would assume you know where the latch is and what it looks like. You should be able to take a screwdriver of the handle of a pair of pliers and push the latch up until it clicks to lock open until you close the door. Hopefully this helps.

The door latch paddle latch spring is broken, you will need to determine the door and replace the door latch assembly.

Please rate my help for Fixya, it improves my status and it is all I ask for my time helping you with your problem. Thanks

it could just be that the door switch is stuck,, most have a little rubber cap on them,, and come out with a single screw, remove it , and with a meter check to see that the continuity stops when the plunger is in the in position, you if not, just replace that switch , and you should be ok

u should be able to turn the latch on back of lock inside trunk

Sometimes these get stuck in the closed position...try pulling up on the inside door release before trying to close again...this re-aligns the catch to work properly...if needed then compare the door latch to the same door on the other side to adjust to open/close as needed...Hope this helps.

Spray the latch with a good penetrating oil, then pop the latch back into the proper position with a small screwdriver. Sounds like it's just a lack of lubrication, which will happen over time.

ok open the door and look at the latch now while you are looking at it pull the handle as if you were going to open the door the latch should move if it doesnt it is stuck all you have to do is take a screw driver or something and manually move the latch and free it up hope this helps and next time youre doors freeze shut try a warm water in a bucket pour on all edge of door and it should open a lot easier good luck

You should be able to pull the handle and while holding the handle use a screwdriver to pop the latch back to a "open" position. If the latch does not release then it might be broken and stuck in that position. Just use the screw driver and insert it into the latch opening to simulate the latch hook. The try moving it back while holding the handle open. Hopefully this gets the latch back into position. You should also lubricate the latch with a small amount of white grease to keep the latch from sticking.

could be a crankshaft position sensor located on the back side of the engine. There is a two wire plug on it and should be close to the freeze-out plugs. you will need an 8mm wrench to remove it.
