Passenger door wont open k14 model

[evvy666]

Hi guys so basically straight to the point my passenger door wont open external handle is jamming wont open the door and now internal handle doesn't open the door so can't even take the panel off to check is there any other way I can get the door open do you know all I'm currently able to do Is remove the window mechanism panel from the door itself

Did you manage to get this sorted?

No I've currently checked the handle itself no issue there so I'm gonna be sorting out the mechanism and the cable

It sounds like a failed actuator they usually come with cables attached. I don’t know if you will be able to strip it down to see what’s failed. The ones that I’ve seen are usually sealed unit.

Yh I think mines a sealed unit it unlocks and all just won't open took door panel off cables seem fine took door handle off and nothing seems to have broken on the handle so my only assumption is the handles mechanism or the cables stretched due to cold weather cause the weather was freezing temps when it happened
