I "played" with the drivers doors lock by "closing" the locking mechanism while the door was open using a screwdriver. When I turned the key, it opened just fine. Same applied if I "opened" the door with the internal handle.
So far so good! Then I locked the door lock mechanism again using the screwdriver and closed the door and since I have not been able to open the door. Even if I open it with the key or use the internal handle, where the first movement unlock and the next shoukd open the door.
But nothing happens!
It's virtually imposible to see what happens with the lock in situ, so I went to a scrapyeard and bought a spare door lock and I managed to replicate the situation, where the door mechanism is in closed position (position 2), and nether the lever to the external handle or the inter handle release the mechanism.
i have tried various kombinations of moving the various levers, but it stays locked/closed.
i think it is a mechanical problem within the lock, since I did operate the various components in an unusual/unexpected way, which may have left some internals in a bad position.
As I cant take the lock out of a closed door, I need to find "something" I can do to release that lock.Alternative I grap a sledgehammer and smashed the door and put in a replacement door, but of obvious reason I want to avoid that route.
Any hints welcomed!
