A BIG PROBLEM!!!
I went and shut the door last night, locked it and walked away. Today when I went to open it and it wouldn't, the outside latch just pushed in. Crawl through the passengers side and try to open it and it won't?!?!? What do I do? Any one else have this happen? :cry :(

Some one posted this same problem recently. It happen to me but luckily I had my door pad off. There is a trick to open it when this happens. And when you do, its time to pull your latch mechanisms and clean them.

The one time I had this problem before my panels where off, I just kept moving all 4 points (inside lock, outside lock, inside handle, and outside handle) until it finally opened.

Well I got it open, got mad and yanked like a mad man on the inside latch. Heard a little click and the thing opened. Thank god.
Thanx for the help though
