Rear Drivers door won’t open.

Hello, My 2018 Tacoma TRD Sport driverside passenger door won’t open from inside or outside unlocks but won’t open.

 

Welcome to TW!

When you say it unlocks, do you hear the actuator moving? Is the handle moving differently than before? For example, are you able to pull the handle as far out as normal, or is the handle jammed up?

 

I can see locks actuate and yes handle operates normal.

 

I saw the samething posted on you tube but they didn’t show the fix.

 

child locks ?

 

can’t open door to check but if that was on shouldn’t I be able to open from outside?

 

If it's not the child lock it's likely the cable on the inside of the door that connects to the interior door handle. See if moving the child lock in either direction allows you to open the door.

 

I don't think OP can access it since the door won't open

 

Interior cables won't be accessible unless entire door panel is removed. Hoping it's just the child lock.

edit: he should be able to climb in the back seat and reach down to access the child lock. others have done it.

 

I removed the panel behind the handle and I can see the ball attached. I'll check the child lock though.

 

I remember another member saying he had to pull the inside handle very hard. Like you're bending it past where it normally stops and it feels like you're gonna break it but it supposedly works

 

Were you, or someone else, recently inside the door panel before this happened? I’m foggy on what it was, but I’ve read more than one post of someone not reconnecting part of the mechanism or not correctly.

 

Unable to access child lock.

 

No the door panel has not been removed.

 

Saw something about replacing the actuator but I have to get the door opened to access it. May have to just bite the bullet and take it in.

 

Find someone with small hands. Here's the location for reference.

If you're not all sweaty and your hands aren't all scraped and cramped up you haven't tried hard enough.

 

Not even the lockpicking lawyer can help

 

Happened to me when I Swapped the speakers and this worked for me
