MICKAJ Member 245 Member For: 17y 3m 7d Posted 11/01/09 07:17 AM Share Posted 11/01/09 07:17 AM Hi all, a while ago the lock in a rear door clapped out and wouldn't lock with remote. I disconnected the exterior door handle so my car was secure. My car was semi detailed and in the process the bloke doing it put the child proof lock on.So I have no connected exterior door handle, and the interior does nothing.Will I ever be able to open this again lol, need ideas here. Gonna try and probe for the child proof switch but will be hard Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/53353-rear-door-permanently-shut-locked/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the BA should be the same. If you pull the cushion on the side of the rear seat away from the door (can't remove it) you should be able to just see the child lock switch. I used a long flt screw driver to get at it, about 10 inches long. Be careful though, as it was easy to scratch the paint on the door jam.Good luck with it.Cheers, Ben Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/53353-rear-door-permanently-shut-locked/#findComment-802522 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MICKAJ Member 245 Member For: 17y 3m 7d Posted 14/01/09 10:06 AM Author Share Posted 14/01/09 10:06 AM Yeah I can move the seat but its hidden up tight ugainst the body of the car!!! I am going to try and probe around the corners from the rear seat with something that bends so I have a chance!

Its a thick woven tape about 1cm wide and 1mm thick.Ideal for breaking into cars and would slide in the gap nice and easy and not scratch the paint I think.Maybe that or a icecream container that you can cut into a strip to do it the same way.Just a few ideas I guess Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/53353-rear-door-permanently-shut-locked/#findComment-802897 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see mine when I shone a torch.
