2004 Kia Optima Door wont open


I can unlock the doors but the drivers side door will not open. It doesnt appear to be fully unlocked and the door will not physically open from the inside or out.

Hi ladycoop73,

Did you try manually operating the locking knob before opening?

If it don't work, then most probably the loak is faulty.

If after manualy operating the knob you can open the door, then the actuator motor is weak, you need to replace it.
