Help needed with doors

Post by Starlet220bhp »


Hi brought a 2004 caddy SDI
Both side sliding doors won't open from inside or out "/ ?! The central locking all works and locks and opens front doors & Back.

Any ideas? Thanks

I've seen this before where the contact plate on the door corroded as the door had been left for a long time unused.
Because the caddy doors have deadlocks the handles won't work without at least the deadlock unlocking.
How much of the lock can you get to? The side door mechanism is remote from the lock with a Bowden cable link, it's possible you can undo the cable to pull the lock.
