psychodad Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 greetings group, this one could only happen to me....the drivers door lock on my '90 deville is in the locked position which means that the outside plunger and inside handle do nothing... can tell by the feel of the key that it isn't moving anything inside the door....the inside lock mechanism clicks up & down but changes nothing....obviously the door is closed and despite what a friend said, theres no way on earth that door panels coming off with the door closed...does anyone know how i can access the problem without the torch or a hurst tool??? PLEASE help!!!.................................................red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epricedright Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Call your local locksmith -he'll know how to get your door unlocked. He might give you some pointers over the phone for using your slim jim. You'll want to use a wedge between the outer door panel and window. Good luck!

Ranger Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 You can probably find one on Ebay. Stay away from Chiltons or Haynes. You want the one by Helm Inc. You can get a new one from them. http://www.helminc.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
