Central locking problem / door stuck

[Markus]

I'm wondering if anyone can give me some clues on how to solve this problem:

The rear passenger side door on my Brava is stuck in locked position. The car has central locking (Cobra), all other three doors work fine, but this door, nothing at all happens. The pin on the inside of the door is stuck in locked position, it can be pulled upwards a bit, but still won't open. When I pull the handle on the outside, nothing.

Can it be something electrical, like a fuse? I wouldn't think a fuse has anything to do with a single door, but who knows? Or is it more likely to be a mechanical problem, as I can't open the door at all and the pin on the inside seems stuck...

My first thought when I noticed the problem was "easy, I'll remove the door card and have a look", until someone on this forum asked me how I planned to get the door card out with the door locked... Still haven't figured that one out...

Any ideas & help appreciated!

Its mechanical.

Goto a scrappy and find a Brava with the same interior as yours and take out the door card for that door.

The next step is to get in your Brava and snap the plastic trim off and solve the problem then open the door and put the new door card on.

But if anyone else has a better option then i hope they say.

its mechanical, my front passanger door did the same thing, get the car unlocked as much as possible, with some help try and pull the button up inside and get someone outside to pull the door, it took us a lot of effort, and you may think your gonna damage the door but it opened it eventually,
