2006 buick lucerne back doors won't open - 2006 Buick Lucerne

  • cheap repair Jun 10, 2011

    If they wont open from inside but open from the outside...then the child locks are on. Open the door and look at the lock mechanism on the door. There should be a switch to change from child lock to regular operation.

My friend just had this problem and he reached in and pulled the inside door handle back as far as it would go, and then let it go, allowing it to 'snap' back. For some reason this fixed it. We have no idea why. By doing this on one door, both rear door locks freed up and the rear locks are now working. Before, both rear locks were stuck and you could not open the doors from the inside nor the outside. Not sure why it works, but maybe it will work for you!

If your door isn't opening when you pull the handles it is most likely because the hinge on your actuator is stuck in the open position from the last time you pulled the handle, therefore the cable attached to your handles cannot pull the hinge again to open the latch that is clamped on the door jamb plate.
Here is a video I did showing how I fixed mine.

Same thing just happened today on our 2006 Buick Lucerne where the only the back driver side door won't open by pulling the door latch handle from the inside or outside. Quick fix was to pull (don't let go/keep it pulling) the inside door latch (back driver side) from the inside while another person from the front driver side press the lock then unlock button and then release the inside door latch (back driver side). You will be able to open the door now from the inside or outside door latch.

If you mean, wont open from the inside, it is most likely the child safety feature on the door locks. There is a switch inside the door jam to turn them on or off. Some models have a switch on driver's side window/door lock controls to use this feature also.

How do you get the back door open on a 2006 Buick Lucerne won't open from inside or out

SOLVED!!!!! Both of my rear doors stuck shut, wouldn't open from outside or inside, the locks seemed to be working properly. After scouring the web I found a post explaining a design flaw was responsible. If the doors were unlocked while someone was pulling on the door handle the mechanism would get stuck. I was able to get the inner door panel removed without breaking anything, only the backseat bottom needs to be removed. It takes some finesse to get the bottom clips undone but IT IS POSSIBLE. Once I had the door panel removed I was disappointed that pulling on the lever from inside wasn't working to disengage the door. Finally I recalled the post that explained why so many people were experiencing this issue with the cars. I reversed the action that caused the issue to begin with, pulling the lever thats connected to the door while holding it I unlocked the door and it finally disengaged. I will post of video when i get around to the other backdoor
