    Hi everybody,

    From one day to the next, my rear passenger side door will not open from the inside. It opens from the outside and the lock adjusts when directed from the drivers control panel. But the door won't open from inside the car. Anybody have any ideas what the problem might be and how long it will take to fix?

    I have to bring it in for the 5000 mile check-up in a couple of weeks and would hate to have to leave it there overnight.

    Thanks!

    Check the child safety lock. Its on the door where the door meets the jam when closed. It is easy to accidently change the switch position when cleaning the car.

    Thanks for the insight. Saved me a trip to the dealership and who knows what they would have charged to flip a switch. Much appreciated.
