I hope someone can help me. Here is my problem....i can't open the driver side door from the inside or outside, because the handle is broken and something is let go inside... The passenger side will only open from the inside, as that handle is also broken.... Both back doors are locked! Now you see my dilemia! I have power locks, and some how they got locked, and i can't get in!! I can unlock the two front doors with the key, but i can't open the doors! I need to know how i can get into my car without having to break the window.
Thanks

Usually on GM's you can wedge the top of the door frame outward with a triangle of wood or a doorstop or something, enough to give you a nice gap to work through and run a rod in to pull the handle or hit the lock button.

Hey guys, thanks alot for the insight. I managed to get it open by inserting a plastic triangle, like a door stop, into the top of the back driver side door.....then using a pad attached to a squeeze ball, like the apparatus that takes your blood pressure, inserted that and pumped it up until i could remove the door stop and insert a thick metal rod that you could bend into shape! The rod has a little loop at one end, enough to use with some force. We pushed the lock foward, and away we go. I took hours with a hanger, and only 3 minutes with those three tools!
Thanks Again,
Bryce
