About to destroy my door panel
 

Alright one day i got to open my passenger side door and nothing happens when i pull. It has tension but it just won't open. I get into the driver side and try to open through the inside and well nope nothing happens.
Assuming i need to get the door panel off to inspect the wire that opens the door...how do i get it off without destroying my door panel and if i do need to destroy it where can i find a cheap replacement?
Any ideas are appreciated and oh i also already searched with no avail.

thanks

dude the door wont open. /\ if you pull off the plastic , wich can be a pain, handle stuff you should just be able to see the cables that are for the lock and release

I checked...i think the cable snapped! =P
Does mazda charge for an estimate?
Unless you have any other suggestions?

Ha ha ha, he he he, I'm sorry I am going to have to laugh. THat crap happens to me all the time. Even worse on the driver side. Its those cheesy door handle locks, I mean don't get me wrong they look hella nice and all but they sure the hell can annoy a person.

Well anyways It happened to me a couple of times on the driver side and it was a bitc* I had to basically do what that link speedking gave you only with the door shut. First thing make sure the locking mechanism is all the way on open, then try and open your door, If not remove the door lock & handle, that should be easy enough and see if you can pull the metal line with your hand and see if your door pops open. It could be that the lever just got stuck. And if all else fails just pull out the damn door panel, it shouldn't break at all just take your time, and see what is holding the door from opening.

If you remove the passenger panel, there is a screw behind the switch for the window. Pull the switch out to access the screw. You will break the panel if you don't remove this screw.

If both doors don't open, be a redneck and get in and out of the car through the trunk. HAHA. Jokin'. I like hillbillies. Well, good luck to you. I know nothing of doors so my guess, if u want to fix it, break the door off and replace wats broken. ;)

:rlaugh: that would suck.. Super high performance car but you got to get in and out of it through the trunk... :rlaugh:

Nice link! I'm keeping this for reference
