Hi Folks,

My 2003 GU driver’s door is stuck closed. The central locking mechanism flicks the switch on the inside, but the door won’t unlock.
The key also doesn't unlock the door.
It failed a couple of times in the last few months but fixed itself so I just ignored it ( ) - I’m now regretting that decision.

In an effort to save time I called a mechanic/locksmith today to try and open the door, but the best suggestion he could come up with after inspecting the door and pulling the internal handle off, was hacking through the door trim. Needless to say i was not in a rush to let that happen.

So… How do I get the driver’s door open without being able to open the door? I’m getting really tired of climbing over the passenger seat.

(Nissan are quoting $700 just to replace the central locking mechanism in the door - assuming that's what it is)

Thanks folks
