Driver Door Problem

[BuiTX]

I was in a hurry and I closed the door on my seat belt. When I tried to lock my doors it kept beeping to let me know that there was a door still open. I was trying to diagnose the problem, but I didn't really know what I was doing and I accidentally closed the latch in my driver door. Now my driver door won't close and I can't go anywhere. I think I could pry it open, but I don't want to do that unless I'm sure that it won't effect anything else.

maybe hit the unlock button inside the car and lift try both handles, inside and out?

i think if you stick something in the groove (like a screw driver) and push it out ----> that way like the door thing would naturally, that would release it

 

better yet you try lifting the handle? that should do it actually, if not, lift handle and pull out like i said before

Yup a screw driver will do it.

I feel dumb. I tried everything you said except the outside handle and of course the outside handle worked.

 

Thanks guys.
