Front passager door will not open or unlock. Trying to avoid paying hundreds of dollars to get it open. Perhaps if I find out how to remove the inside panel and get inside the door from the inside I can fix this myself. Any suggestions? Please advise?
You need a long screw driver, 10mm, phillips, torxs bits, trim panel popper and a pocket screw driver. if you can hear the actuator working thhere is a plastic replacement boot. pop up the switch cover from the fron. remove the rear reflector/light remover 10mm bolts(3). remove the torx and the open handle cover. then use the trim panel popper and remove the panel. then take the long screw driver and follow tow lock rods to the ned then twist the screw driver. two more rods need to be removed at the back. one has a adjustment. do adjusted it! then remove the torx 30 latch in the outer door part. remove the latch. then two torx 10 on the actuator remove them. at this point you will see a pastic rod that is not connected because the boot came off or the actuator is bad. install the new boot in the latch then take the place rod or the actuator push it into the boot at a 45deg. then swing it down. o ya make sure the gears are aligned top all of the way to the right and the bottom to the left i think. its the same as when you pull it a part. also do not over tightend the actuator to the latch. have fun

Have a problem with the rear doors not unlocking on 1995 reagal.
The doors will not unlock manually either.
You can not open the doors from the inside either.
Seems like I am stuck.
What do you think? Anyone have ideas.

My passenger side front door is locked as well. I cannot unlock it at all. I tried Alexl's suggestions, but the dashboard and the seat were in the way in trying to remove the door panel. I have tried spraying DW40 down the door and attempting to vibrate the mechanism loose with a rubber mallet. That's not working either. Any other suggestions??? The dealership wants over $200 to take the door off. Ugh!
Outside door handle will not unlatch door. Now inside door handle won't unlatch it either. Problem seems to be with the latch assembly.
my driver side door only opens from the inside - 1994 Buick Regal
