Previously had an issue with my front passenger door and back door (same side) with the door lock actuator unlocking the door. Had both changed, and worked for 2-3 weeks. no for some reason the front passenger does not want to unlock with the remote, unlock button on drivers/passenger side, also the stick does not want to come up. Is there a way to open the door without having to break the panel?


Side note: don't have the original key; there's a remote starter.

Unfortunately we need to remove the door panel to test the actuator as it is most likely the issue. I suspect you just have a faulty actuator. Clearly it if was working and is now not, it is most likely the cause so I attached the testing that we need to run through in order to confirm this.

Let me know what you find with this. Thanks
