    Hi all,

    Just got my wife a new to us 2006 tacoma and was switching the door actuator since it came with the sale of the truck. front driver side went fine.
    I had the actuator for back passenger but the faulty one was the back driver. so I took them apart and switched the motors and put it back. however I must of put the actuator back together misaligned and I should of tested with screwdriver but I closed it. now it does not open.
    I have the door closed without the panel and tried pulling on the cable or pressing on the bar on the actuator and NOTHING... I can't open the door from the inside or outside.
    Does anyone have any solution to how I can open the back door to replace with a new actuator??? luckily I didn't put back the door panel so I have access to the inside but nothing to get it open. PLEASE HELP! My wife is cool at the moment but Im sure she won't be happy a couple of weeks from now.
