Door Problems 4 door Sedan

[metro_roy]

I have a little problem with the rear doors of my 95 sedan. It has electric locks. Every once in while a year or so ago, the rear passenger side wouldn't unlock. Even manually. It would go away by itself and come back every couple weeks. But it would always correct itself after driving a little so it was one of those things that I said I need to fix someday but never did. Recently, the other rear door started to do the same thing. Well, I should have fixed it then but I thought I'd wait until it got warmer. Now, both rear doors won't ever open. I can't unlock them all the way to open the doors. So, if I can't open either door, I can't get the inside panels off to see what's up inside. Since nearly all the problems with Geos are common to them all, I'm wondering if you all may have some suggestions on what I do here.

Remove the panel or just enough to get inside with them shut. Lube it up. Your problem is most likely stuck hardware inside the doors locking mechanisms. If you can get the panels off or off enough to get inside shoot wd-40 on the mechanisms and try forcing the doors. The get a lot of dirt/dust up in there that sometimes causes problems.
