2000 Camry Driver's Door Won't Open. Please Help
Hi all! My fiance has a coworker in her 70’s and she is forced to climb in/out through the passenger side each time she has to drive the car. She doesn’t have enough money to have it professionally fixed so I told her I would help as much as I could. Anyone’s help/feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Problems:
I’ve called toyota specialist auto shops, dealerships, and locksmiths that specialize in cars. 3 out of the 5 (that would lend advice) told me that I would have to break/smash the actuator and door latch from the inside of the car, and pull it out of the door panel, and then replace it with a new latch/actuator assembly. Could this be correct? I have no idea how i’m going to drill out the 3 bolts that secure the latch to the door… from the inside 🤔 Again, I sincerely thank you for any information/solutions you may have to contribute!!!

When you did troubleshooting where the rods were still attached?
There is small spring in the latch mechanism that can break and result in this problem. If you have replacement unit suggest you examine it for the spring and how it functions in the assy, Someone claimed they were able the jimmy the lock with a coat hanger, but. Its not the 3 bolts for the latch hook one wants to access but the latch assy inside the door. Here the door panel needs to be removed. |
