Drivers Dooor won\'t unlock????????

I have a bit of a problem with my 02 GTS. The drivers door will not unlock once closed unless I use the emergency release. This happened over the course of a couple days. First it wouldn't close every time when I shut it and now it won't open up @ all using the door handles. Any suggestions? Thanks...

I had a similar problem and Chuck Tator told me the fix. One of the wires in the door hinge is broken, breaks in half. You need to re-connect and it will be fixed. This will probably re-occur inn time.

Re: Drivers Dooor won\'t unlock????????

Chrysler built this great car, then cheaped out on the wiring at the hinge. I had to change each one. As I replaced some, others broke-and its only a '00 with 34k! Now I'm conscious of it everytime I have to open the driver's side door. On the bonus side I probabely got a better deal when I bought the car last year because of that. The left side mirror didn't move and the outside door handle was dead.

I had the same problem but it wasn't the wiring harness. I think it was the button but I don't remember. Larry Macedo Macedo Motorsports fixed it.

Worthless reply I know, but it plugs Larry and bumps my posts count.
