2004 kia optima, drivers side door wont open after I accidentally locked it.
I was aware that this was a malfunction when I bought the car. I usually just don't lock it. Today I got it back after a few weeks of it being in the shop and when I was getting in the car, I accidentally hit the auto lock button.
Advice from the previous owner, as well as online advice I found was to try turning the key in the door while pulling on the door handle simultaneously. I spent about 3 hours today trying to get it open, as well as my mechanic trying for about 20 minutes.
I also removed the fuses that control the automatic door lock, to no avail.
Anyone have any other advice for me? I doordash, and can't be crawling in and out my passenger door all the time 😭
