i just wanted to let everyone know i figured out what could be a problem as i fixed my door for free, friday night i came home in the pouring rain and it was i would say 30 degrees outside and over night the temp went down im assuming ice built up in the lock and disabled the lock mechanism from moving and wouldnt let me open the door from in or outside last night however i ran a hair dryer over the door for about 5 or so minutes and opened the door from the inside then i moved the lock and shut the door then i was able to open the door perfectly again i hope this helps everyone as it keeps you all from spending money

I having the same problem as well. by the way did you ever get the door open. I am not in cold temp. it about 81 deg. out.. I just wondering if there a reset by removing the battery connect and see if is would open. but not sure..:(

any answers? as I was reading this I too have this problem. x has been in the backyard for four months and has not moved. on a cold day i tried to open the door and the handle moved without opening the door. im stuck!

I just came from out there trying to get the dame door open. no luck.... I tried the reset by disconnecting the battery, even check all fuses, all good. but still door don't open. all other door lock and unlock by remote and center console button. how do you go by opening the the door if the inside and outside handle don't open the door. anyone.......:confused:

I had this problem once. Unfortunately I had to pay the dealer $165 to remove the panel from inside. I have no idea haw they did it but they removed it without breaking anything.

that's the caught, I trying not to take it to the $teeler to pay 3X the amount then what others here on the board that I have read. the Gulf is a rip off on parts and labor...

thats really lucky...The dealer up here had to break open the door to someone's X5 because it wouldn't open from inside or outside. Then the guy had to pay for a new door too..
