    My taco decided to barf a locked door. The passenger door is locked. No open door handles inside or outside . Can't move lock manually. Electric buttons don't unlock either. Can't pull off panel to look at actuator. Because door is locked shut. Take out the seat ? But how? Lol where is the relay? Might check that along with fuse before I pull out passenger seat to open panel on door....

    Tried disconnecting battery? Tried bumping door shut to loosen up locking hardware? Know anyone with a jimmy bar?

    I think it will. But I think I'm going to try cut a piece off the door to get access to the spring. Im disabled and only have one good arm so pulling that seat out of the way not happening. It would easiest for me to make hole and weld back. Unless someone knows how to get to the spring or lever that spring is connected to without pulling seat
    Its and old low mileage truck

    Got it open. Spring is gone gone. Popped the lock button open with an old school Jerry rig aka the metal hanger. Went down through the window crack. So all of you taking out the seats stop doing that is not necessary.
