I've tried everything, remote, key, even brute force but nothing will get the driver side door open.
It all started when I was driving after work and i got out of the car and the door would not close, it simply bounced off the frame - not like it was already locked - but closing all the way and just not setting into place as usual. I started mashing buttons on the remote and jimmying the key to get it close and it finally did.
Since that moment the driver side door no longer opens at all no matter what combination of key and remote i use. The lock lever itself tends to spasm or jump back into the locked position when I try to open it, or only moves half way to the fully unlocked point which makes me think it might be electrical, also because this whole mess started when it was raining.
This is my first post so I'd welcome any help, I'm broke as hell and would appreciate a cheap solution or else I'll just be jumping across from the passenger side until then.
