This will help.

Thanks.

open the door from the outside look on the door seal while open in look for a switch or button that says child proof lock a lot of cars and trucks have these to stop kids from opening the door while the car is moving and rear doors can only be open from outside when set

It is unusual for both rear doors to have this problem. If they are seldom used they can "stick" however. If you have power door locks and you can see the knob moving when the switch is pressed, chances are the doors are not locked when "unlock" is pressed.

Make sure they are unlocked by pulling up firmly on the lock knob by hand. If that fails, the doors may just be "stuck". Have you tried pulling the inside handle and pushing outward on the door from the inside while a helper lifts the outside handle and pulls outward.

If the doors have "child safety locks" you should only be able to open door from the outside when the safety lock is on.

the only thing that could have happened is the child safety locks are on. that is why you can not open them from the inside and the outer handles have broken . the thing to do now is to use a tool called a slim jim to open the doors . then unlock the child safety locks so you can still use the doors until outer handles are replaced.

I have the same car, same problem. I've still not been able to fix it, despite taking the inside panels off the rear doors, checking the rods were seated, applying WD-40 to the lock mechanisms, and manually working the mechanism. Child locks are not engaged, but I tried putting them on and off too. Just won't open.

from out side the safety locks are designed to disconnect the inside handle so a child cant open door

oliver i'm not sure what model of car you have but if it locks off the central locking and opens from the outside it could be the cable linkage on the rear of the handle. Or at the other end where the cable actually operates the locking mechanism. These Days they are only made of plastice and if pulled on too hard can sometimes snap or the cable can twist and the little crimped end on the cable can come free. This has happened in two of my cars and even in my Mercedes Sprinter Van. Its a quick fix if nothing is broken and the most time taken is removing the interior door panel. You may need a set of Torx bits or screw drivers and a gentle hand to remove this but its worth it in the end.

most likely it is the child safetyy lock next time the door is open make sure the child safety is in the off setting

door handle on the out side has never worked. And my wife moved the child saftey lock to the locked position and closed the door, now we can't open it. How can I move the child saftey lock back to the unlocked position when the door won't open?
