A few years ago (probably just before your video) this had happened to both front doors of my Suburban. I figured it was a common problem since it had happened twice to me on the one vehicle, and a fix would be easy to find. I was having to crawl through the back to get to the drivers seat. Eventually I had enough, and bought something else to drive. Anyway I finally had to move the Suburban yesterday, and it cranked without a fit after sitting about 3 years, and now have some project plans for it now. Thank you so much for the video!

My Thanks to you, I have this same situation on the drivers side back door and it happened 5 days ago and Have really been stressed about how to remedy the problem because I can't open the door to remove the panel to get at every thing that needs to be fixed. Who ever designed this had their head up their Butt. I'm praying that Karma pays them a really dastardly visit just to even thing up...😎

I Have a 1997 GMC k1500 this just happened to my drivers side door today. It unlocks when you shut it off. I happened to be opening the door at the exact same time it went to unlock, and it jammed something up. Door won’t open, and it’s stuck locked. Key won’t unlock it, remote won’t unlock it. it’s Saturday, late and no mechanic shops opened until Monday. I’m to old and fat to be crawling over the center console to get out ver and over. You sir are changing lives! Thank you for this! Great info!

Glad it helped! I hear you on the age and weight thing...getting there myself haha I actually pulled my console out years ago and replaced with a midsize Igloo cooler. It works great to throw stuff in when its not being used in the summer for drinks on trips/woods etc. and it comes to the right height to just fall at the arm rest. Works great and if and when I need to work on anything in the front...just pull it out haha

Hey. I just watched your video. I have a similar issue. But my lock is jammed almost inbetween open and closed position and I can’t seem to get it to move either way even when poking around thru that access hole. The rocker piece just seems to not want to move

This happen to my truck but on both doors it won’t open should I break the window or is there other ideas

[@fernforestfamily9105]

I'm not clear on exactly whats going on. Are you locked out of truck completely? If so, do you have a sliding glass window in back maybe? Can you possibly fashion a slim-jim to get to the rods inside the door and release one of them? Let me know if you're still working on it. Sorry I'm 4 days responding...been out of state in Montana and not checking this account

Mines doesn’t lock it just get stuck when I try to push down on the lock
