The driver side door of my car does not want to open, not even from the inside or from the outside. I tried to push and pull as hard as I can, but i can not open the door..
What other method can I try to open the door?
!!THANKS!!

You will have to try and take off the door panel to access the actuator, it's probably seized shut.

You may try hitting the outside of the door(where the actuator/lock mechanism is) with the palm of your hand. This may work. Another option would be to warm up the vehicle (if you are in a colder climate) this may free it up as well.
