There is one fusebox behind a panel on the outside of the passenger side dash (must have door open). The main fuse box is in the engine compartment behind the battery.
I have this problem every year with my car, 1993 buick regal custom, 3.8. What happens is it gets cold, warms up a bit, and ice or snow melts and gets in the door, then it gets cold again and it freezes. I go to unlock and open the door from the outside and this problem arises.
There is a vertical rod on the left side of the drivers side, right side of the passenger side, that gets bent, from trying to open the door when that mechanism is frozen up. Just bend it back, a TINY bit and it will start working.
I got tired of taking my door apart every time it happened so i cut a little "door" in the cover thing, so i can get at that bar.
I also tried coating it in grease and that seems to lessen the frequency.
Sounds like you need a new latch assembly, or you lock actuator is unhooked and not unlocking your latch. Will need to try and remove the door panel to see what is going on. It will be hard to do with the door closed.
first step is to remove inside door panel. look around panel for any visable screws note most are hidden remove all to free panel along bottom of panel are plastic clips gently pull near clips to release if panel is hard to pull off look for more scews like under power window switch which may pop out and have screw undernieth near door handle and under arm rest. once panel is off look indoor near outside handle and u should be able to see whats going on u may just need new clip to hold latch rod to handle or may need new handle from a salvage yard or auto parts store but first step remove panel hope this helps u
If it will not open from the outside it could be that the clip came of of the handel inside of the door panel.turn signal could be that the bulb is bad even if it lights up if it doese not flash it is a bad bulb
let down the window, take a chain with a hook on it ,hook it on to the
handle and if your strong enough pull the chain hard and hold it from the inside and once again if your strong enough turn around and give it a bruce lee with boots on. be careful to put a few towels between the chain and the finish you don't want to wear the solutionafterward.
