2003 Nisson Altima STUCK DOOR

[la1]

Left back door, the handles do not work nor does the door remote ..just makes a buzzing sound. Can not remove the inside door cover b/c it goes into and is covered by the mid pillar and sill on other side of the door when the door is closed

Google is an amazing thing.

i took the back seat out, has 2 pull tabs to release. it was the driver side back door. I took the 2 screws , one hidden at the door handle lock, another on the arm rest, hidden also. i popped off the arm rest cover, removed 2 more scres. then i started to pull at the bottom right of the finisher cover to pop out the clips that hold it on. you are going to do some damage to the finisher cover. then lift up to disengage from the window track., disconnect the 2 rods and power cable for the window door lock. now you will be able to see and operate the child lock. look at another door to see how to turn off the child lock, and do that on the stuck door. i removed the bottom screw on the solenoid for the door lock. i could lift it up a bit and slida long flat blade screw driver under and into the lock and started probing till about 10 min later i went around and the outside door handle opened the door.
