the pearl

Any ideas....I unlocked the car, all the individual door locks popped up but the passenger door would not open from the outside however you could open it from inside. Just ordered the manual and waiting for if to come in. In the meantime I thought I'd see what you folks think.

Oh...it's a '00 S4

Thanks in advance!!

is it cold outside? might be frozen shut if it snowed/rained in cold weather.

Sometimes the outside handle would work, sometimes not.

I had to take the inside door panel off and grease the linkage. Since then, it has worked fine.

It's been raining quite a bit and last night the temps dropped around freezing. But it's been in the 60-70's most of the day. Currently in the SF Bay so snow and extreme temps are pretty rare. Born and raised in NY, definitely know about the cold and shovelin' snow.

Thanks,

either broken or mechanism needs inspection/adjustment - take off door panel and see

in the future by lining the rubber with a thin layer of silicone. Just rub in in with you finger and it won't happen. Other than that, give the door a good tug. I'm in NH and see this pretty often hahaha.
