Auto Parts: Door lock, nissan altima, pep boys


Question
1994 Nissan Altima, can not open door from inside or outside, Removed door panel half way still can not get to the mechanical to pull the latch. Any drawing, tool to open the latch.

Answer
Hi Satish,

You need to remove the whole door panel to access all areas of the inner-door. You may have to remove the drivers-side seat to gain access to the door panel but all you should really have to do is move the seat forward to access the screws/clips in the back of the panel and move the seat all the way back to gain access to the fasteners in the front.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
