Re: Someone HELP im locked out!
For a quick fix, just to get your door back, unbolt the hinges from the cab, and open it suicide style. You will have your door, and then you can figure out whats going on.

Re: Someone HELP im locked out!
if you have the drivers door panel off take 10 minutes to watch and study the movements of the lock mechanism and compare the passenger lock movements. couple of key things is patience and light, don't force it. in the end you will have learned something: how the door latch operates! good luck.

Re: Someone HELP im locked out!
something may have slipped look at it and use a screwqdriver to pry up while you push the button ive had this happen on newer trucks also look with a little light to see if there is a jammed broken off piece of the lock mechanism.. in all likelyhood it will need to be replaced... also inspect the whole piece around the door and make sure nothing is holding the door shut around the edges

Re: Someone HELP im locked out!
i finally got a chance to work on the door tonight... and i got it open.
i ended up loosening the bolts that hold the strike plate from the inside of the cab... not an easy task! i got the bolts loose enough that the door just popped opened. i looked at the assembly and the strike plate and couldnt see anything wrong with it.. i guess if you didnt have the those unwanted demons your not doing it right! thanks everyone for your input and advise
