1993 Other Infiniti Models Doors willl not open


I was driving home and my drivers door opened as I was going around a corner. When I reached my home the door would not catch when I tried to close it. After three attempts the latch finally engaged. The next day I could not get the drivers or drivers side passenger door to open. The accuators seem to be operating but the locks will not disengage. I also noticed that my abs light has come on although the brakes seem to be working fine.
Is this an electrical or mechaincal problem ?
How can I get the doors open other than trying a slim jim?

Hi Ronald Roberts,

It should be both mechanical and electrical.

Mechanical is that the driver door latch is faulty so it did not latch and opened itself.

Electrical is now the lock actuator is now jammed in the lock position so you are unable to open with the key.

Try to use key on passenger side and pull at handle at the same time.
