So I did something stupid...HELP!

[RedEuro]

Replace the drivers side rear door lock actuator.

I forgot to connect the rod to the lock. Door is locked shut.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Any ideas on how to get it open again??

Did you disconnect the manual door lock cable?

I dont think so...just the rod that is locked into the assembly

I can hear the lock clicking when i hit the button...but pulling the handle i get nothing

Why cant you unlock it manualy from inside?

 

[1loudLX]

pull the switch panel off, get a little kid to stick his hand in there and work his way to the latch and open it.

 

[RedEuro]

that rod is not connected.

 

[LandCruiserPhil]

that rod is not connected.

Tha rod you are pointing at is used when unlocked with the key I believe

You should be able to manually unlock it inside (see lower cable in picture)

Clarification - you cannot unlock the door? or You cannot open the door with the handle?

 

[RedEuro]

I cant open it with the handles (interior and exterior)

 

[RedEuro]

and its the rear door...so no key

 

[Liam]

well it sounds like you're facked....

 

[LandCruiserPhil]

I cant open it with the handles (interior and exterior)

Even with the rod disconnected it "should" be able to be opened from the inside unless the lock is not unlocking. IF the door is locked you "should" be able to unlock it from the inside manually (uses the cable).

Chances are you have tried all this...just making sure you didnt miss something.

Since you know how/where the internal lock is, maybe you can roll down the window and jimmy the locking mechanism.

and its the rear door...so no key

OK rear door...new pictures to look at.
Pictures are from front door

 

[LandCruiserPhil]

Child lock on?

Looking at the pictures I'm thinking the same thing

 

[RedEuro]

i am going to pop the passenger side panel to get a better idea of how to rectify this

Child lock X2 a possibility, can you get a bit of wire in and flick the child lock to make sure?

 

[RedEuro]

I won! I was able to heat up a pick and bend it 20 different ways to get in and flick the child lock..had to get the door seal pulled out..but after about 30 minutes...POP!
