Ok....I took my nephews to McDonalds yesterday and when we go to get back in the car the front passenger side door won't open at all. From the inside or the outside. I've done some searching and have found threads regarding not opening from inside OR outside but not both at the same time. When I hit the lock button the the latch isn't moving either. Any ideas?? Thanks!

the cable connecting the handle to the motor inside the door is probably worn out... happened to alot of us on here and you need a new assembly... i forgot how much it ran me, its weird that the door wont open from the outside tho, so maybe its a different problem

Manually lock the door from the inside then manually open the door from the inside that should do the trick. If you are unlocking the door at the same time that it is being opened that door will not open.

open the door panel and see if that wire that it uses to do the locking mechanism is still in tact.. thats pretty much the bulk of ur problem prolly
