99 S70GLT drivers door will not open Topic is solved

[bw711]

Seems to have happened overnight. One day door opens, next day, drivers door will not open
from inside or outside.

Can the door card be removed when the door is closed?

Any suggestions on how to get the door to open?

Thanks.

The door lock actuator is no longer available new, I ordered a used one on ebay.

Another approach to this problem:
