Anyone?   Erik G. Burrows (Erik) Member Username: Erik Post Number: 208 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Wednesday, May 07, 2003 - 02:28 pm:    I hit the outside latch with my palm real hard. Works great. Pain in the hand.   Christopher Dynak (Adtoolco) Member Username: Adtoolco Post Number: 219 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Wednesday, May 07, 2003 - 06:01 pm:    Does it happen when you try and open it when its locked? I get it every time I do, usualy a good hit Like Erik suggested works. Last time I had to go to the dealer, the bastard just wouldn't open. -Chris   Rick Schwiem (Rickinaurora) New Member Username: Rickinaurora Post Number: 5 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Wednesday, May 07, 2003 - 10:26 pm:    I had the same problem. I had to replace the hole system.   Michael Noe (Noee) Senior Member Username: Noee Post Number: 612 Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Thursday, May 08, 2003 - 09:53 am:    Took the left rear tail light out, removed it from the pigtail. Took a hard rubber hammer, hit the inside panel area next to the latch about five or six times, not too hard but a solid wrap. The latch then caught, door opened up.
