Hey boys I need help...I've got a '93 notch I bought recently. It has power locks and windows. The guy I bought it from is a parts manager at ford and the car is SWEET. But, it had lock problems when I bought it. The alarm has a keyless entry remote that didn't seem to work properly. That didin't bother me much at the beginning but has evolved into a bigger animal. Long story short, I can't open the drivers door. If I try to open it with the key, the key would definitely break. **** is just all stiff in there. If I open the passenger side, which I can do, I can't pop the locks with the power lock button cause I think the fuse is shot. And without being able to get at the fuse panel which is on the drivers side, I have to shuffle across the centre console every time I get in and out. This sucks. I'm gonna pop a spring in my seat if I keep this up. I've knocked my rearview mirror offwith my head too. If I'm in the driver seat and pull the door handle the lock button should pop up and let me out, but the mechanism in the door seems to bedisconnected or something. What the fvuck can I do? Even a repair shop said they'll have to find a way to "break in". Am I totally screwed here? It seems like it's gonna be very expensive or damaging to the door. Anyone ever been in this situation? I don't know what to do. Any input or advice is muchly appreciated. Thanks...

It feels like it may be more than just the lock though. Like the door handle actuating guts aren't hooked up in there...

what you need to do is unhook the lock actuator

just replace all the locks and handles.......I must have broke my door handles 3 or four times

youll have to take out the seat and the doorpanel, then look and see whats jamming it, most likely one of the lock rods just got jammed

Why would you have to take the seats out? Get a slim jim, pop open the door, pop open the door panel and check it out. See whats goin on there and go off of that.

mmmm, I had the lock rod jam in there good once and the lock wouldnt turn with the key and a slim jim wouldnt workI went in from the passenger side, luckily I had the doorpanel off to see whats going on inside, but if he cant dislodge whats jamming it he will have to remove the seat to get the doorpanel off to see inside
