door is locked, won't unlock

What's the solution to getting a door unlocked? I've pulled up/down on the door handle and still won't unlock.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Joe

Re: door is locked, won't unlock

remove the door handle and window crank, remove door panel, and see if the rod is attached that operates the lock. if all parts are there , spray some wd-40 or liquid wrench in there, as it could be seized up.

Re: door is locked, won't unlock

Why would he try the key when he can just press the onstar button!

Seriously, the door might not be aligned right so try pushing the door closed more, don't know if that makes sense. And while your pushing, try unlocking. Hope that helps.

Re: door is locked, won't unlock

These old trucks don't unlock the doors with the inside door handle. You either have to pull up on the little knob, or use a key. john

X2. I have problems locking my door at times - if you push in on it, it relieves the pressure on the mechanism.
