Help! Can't open Driver's Door...

kid-jensen · 01-10-2010, 02:16 PM

The Driver's door on my 2002 Allroad stopped opening yesterday....from the remote, from outside and from inside, I can't open it at all.

I'm guessing it has something to do with the freezing temperatures we have here now, but the other doors are OK, so maybe not...

Is there any way to get the door to open without destroying the door card?

Hi,

An update for anyone that's interested..

When the temperature came back up to 5 digrees or so, and after about 3 minutes of continuously pulling on the interior door release, it finally opened!

Now that I'm not staring at the prospect of destroying the door panel at who knows how much cost, the first thing I did was take it off and store it in the garage. The car is now much noisier but at least if it happens again I can get to the lock to fix it...

The lock was pretty wet, so I guess it was water turning to ice that jammed it after all..
