  • Sometimes you can't open your car door because the outside door handle is broken and needs replacement but if the outside and inside door handles won't open the door you have a very different problem that's more serious and more expensive to fix - If you'd like to know the problem and how to fix it yourself - watch on

      Kev - decided it was video worthy half way through - but at least you know where to poke around to get it to open - not easy and dealer will charge big bucks to fix this - Cheers from Canada!

    I have a 2003 Wrangler Sport TJ, and have a “no fuse” alert. I am having trouble locating the IOD fuse. Any idea where it is, specifically. I cannot find it.

      Best advice is to use the owner's manual or description on fuse cover. Cheers from Canada - sorry about late reply

      You need to get a slim Jim and try from outside or inside to get at the backside of the lock to unlock it - or get a locksmith - good luck and Cheers from Canada

    On 2010 Lincoln MKT front driver side door handle won't open (opens on inside handle). I've taken the panel off, but now what?

      You need to look closely at the inside part of the door look - or better yet remove the door lock for close inspection - maybe rust is jamming it up

    I'm an automotive locksmith and this isn't correct advice. The window down will make it harder to actuate the latch. Always do this with the window up. I have been doing this for 40 years and opened more of these than I care to think about. I would also tell people to buy a cheap borescope while doing this.

      2:40 ​@carquestions because I don't know the part, it's that piece between those 3 big screw holes on the metal part, in that long hole you could slide your finger In. I've been sitting in my car since I replied with heat on (just for me) but the door finally closed. That lock/latch/actuator. Whatever it should be called has moved. Huzzah!!
