Hey guys,
I've been doing a lot of work on my 99 Tahoe. The other day I replaced a broken interior door handle on the passenger side. The handle works, but it doesn't feel right. When I open it from the inside, I can't feel any sort of click from the latch, but the door opens just fine. Anyway that's not my main problem right now.
I've used the locks a few times since I changed the handle, and it's been working thus far... until last night. I locked the doors, did my stuff, came back and the passenger door would not unlock. Needless to say, I cannot open it from the inside or the outside. I've tried to repeatedly lock-unlock it with the electric lock mechanism many many times, but to no avail. I've tried the manual lock slider-thing but I don't think it's pulling the metal rod far enough to full unlock the latch.
Do you guys have any tips/tricks or know a way to get it open so I can work on it? Also, what would cause the electric locking mechanism to stop unlocking it? I've searched around on Google, but I couldn't find a thing.
