    Door won't unlock

    Started parting my car when all of a sudden (dunno what happened), lost all power (probably when I ripped the aftermarket alarm out). Continued parting my car so my interior is basically bare now, but my passenger door won't open now and I want to take it off. Any clue on how to unlock this? I tried using the key from the outside, central locking is dead, tried pulling it up with my hands, no budge.

          Or repower the central lock and unlock the door. You can try to repower thru the fuse block, or run a jumper wire to the module.

            Is the door card off? If so you should be able to set the actuator free by removing the two 6mm screws.

              Its double locked so the key wont do it and you cant pull it up...BUT try turning the key a bit while opening the door, i noticed my double locking mechanism was a bit worn so though the key wont turn the lock it turns just enough to (if you pull the door handle while turning the key) you can open the door.
