Re: Door won't open

If power door locks, think inoperative power door lock switch or actuator. I also had a corroded lock rod which was sticking. You might have to try a "slim jim" to open the door, then take off the door panel and investigate. I am assuming that the door lock rod (door lock button) is not moving. I suppose the latch could be defective, but I have never had that problem.

Re: Door won't open

My truck (manual lock) does this ALL the time. I would lock the door, try to get out, then realize it was locked and try to unlock it and it won't go, you have to push the outside handle like you are opening the door and it will un-jam your lock mechanism and you should be able to unlock it.
