Title: Rear door won't open
Post by: locknload on October 31, 2015, 02:21:44 PM

It's been that way for a while, I figured it's about time I looked into it.  Driver side rear door appears the door is locked, but lifting the lock button has no affect.  I suspect it has become disconnected at the lock.  Power door locks work only on the front doors, not the rear.  Neither can I get either of the rear power windows to work.  I've removed the interior door opening lever on the stuck door and can reach the pull rod with a pair of pliers, but it does not budge.  Was hoping maybe I could put 12v to the proper wires at the connector inside the B pillar.  Anyone ever done that?  I'd hate to have to destroy the door card to get at it.
