both doors won't open. the driver side would open from the inside but not the outside. Passenger worked fine. Went to go get something and now both doors won't open. any ideas?

Any good fourm post about taking the door apart and fixing this issue?
Occasionally get the same problem, pulling the handle up and giving the door a thump next to the handle works for me. Really must get round to sorting it properly.

Booty bumping FTW! The passenger side opens again! Now the driver still needs work...

Plenty of tips on youtube RE the door removal and lock fixing. I did my central door locking solenoid without too many issues. Lifting the door can help untrap it.

Had the same problem with mine i took the door trim off and used some white lithium spray grease on the mechanism i also used a screw driver to simulate the the operating of the door latch and again sprayed the lithium grease in the door latch on the out side of the door , it seem to work fine and has not give any further problems
