Drivers door won't open.

[martin33100]

Hi, the drivers side door stopped opening yesterday so the wife had to get out the passenger side.
You can't open it from either the inside or the outside handle.
Just wondered if anyone had any advice before I try and remove the inner door trim.

Thanks in advance.

Probably frozen? Happened to me but was frozen outside temp. I brought it in the garage and it started to work normally.

I then open it up and lubed all the door's latch cables that I can find with Teflon lubrication.
Winter is coming again, let see if I have do all over or not.

Thanks for your reply, it's about 10 degs C plus in the UK at the mo so its not freezing.
It's like an actuator has failed while the door was locked, the memote locking lifts all the plastic pins in all the other doors bar the drivers.
Also if you pull the inside handle the plastic pin lifts in the drivers door but then drops back down when you let go of the handle.
