Glad the car is still kickin!

Aye man. If it wasn't for this video I would have taken it to my buddy's body shop. Definitely had to be patient with the wiggling of the plunger. 4 years and still helping people out.

Love the feedback, thanks!

Thanks a lot man! I was able to re-open my door after watching your video! It was a huge help!!

Thanks for the video. Getting ready to tackle this on one of my back doors.

So Glad I opened my search from 2004 Nissan xterra to Nissan. Found this video! The key was the two cables going to the inside door handle. Though my cables were solid(first generation?) setting them to the proper position along with the child lock being off. Thanks as its been a few years.

Yeah, it's futile without knowing the proper setting of the cables. Glad I was able to help!

Thank you very much for both the videos. That was very helpful.

Same issue. Fixed bro! Thanks so much.

Glad it’s still helping people!

Thank you for sharing this video. The lock mechanism on my 2005 Nissan Altima has been not fully unlatching when I unlock the car with the fob. This is the front driver's side door. The latch actuator is functioning; however, the door will only open about an inch and is hung up on the latch. I have to push against the door to latch it again and hit the fob to unlock and try again. Sometimes, I have to repeat this a half dozen times. I just ordered and received a new latch and am at the point where I removed the old one and moved the actuator over to the new latch. My greatest fear is just how much anguish I am going to experience reconnected the control rods that come down from above. As you show, these are in a blind spot deep in the corner. Your video is a good start for me to try and get the latch connect back up to those linkages.

If the power locks don't fully unlock, that's likely the actuator assembly. They seem to last about 100K miles. I believe I replaced all of 'em at least once. If it's the actual lock mechanism that hooks over the striker bar (discussed at the 06:00 mark), I'm not sure on that that. It might just be gummed up. The front door lock assemblies are pretty easy to get into, compared to the back doors which are more cramped due the placement around the wheel well.

I got the same problem with rear left door on my G35S SEDAN. I open the door panel with the door stuck shut and got my hand between and slide inside to manually open the door. Once the door open. I remove the door panel. I am at this stage. The plunger cable has problem. When i push on the lock mechanism, the door handle (inside) does not turn. I dont need to remove the rear seat.

Its works bro you got to make it part1 part2 for removal of panel then the lock you was on point people just follow what he says it will work

Thanks for the suggestion. I updated both this video and the previous one to indicate there is a Part 1 and Part 2, and included the respective links. I also updated the titles and keywords to match. Hopefully this will increase the videos' SEO when people are looking for this info.

Thanks for the detailed video. The rod on my front door 2005 Altima came off when taking the old door handle off. Wasn't sure how to refit the rod from the door handle back into the blue part. You said you were able to reach in and feel and install it.Other video shows you have to take off the door lock ( 4 bolts ) Hopefully I can try your method now that I know how the rod goes in. Thanks again excellent video.

It’s been a while since I was in the front door, but I recall it was much easier to work in. Best of luck!

Thanks for this having this issue with my daughter car. So do you think it's still necessary to replace the actuators? Don't think they cost too much so might be worth just replacing them while I'm in there.

Yep...do it while you're in there.

What is the electric lock called? I believe my Altima has the exact same issue and I need that pice but I can not find it online.

the lock mechanism is stuck in lock on my altima

I am going to try that trick on my 06 Altima. One day it didn't open and I have been wondering how to fix it. The same happened to my old 1999 F250 and 2001 F150 with extended doors, not the crew cab. Out of nowhere stopped both doors to opening.

I don't understand where your question is coming from. Did you watch the entire video first? 🤨

So why didn’t you take out the upper seat for easier access to the child lock?

@evolution2001

Didn't cross my mind. I didn't bother to see what would've been required to do so.

Did your child lock switch fail or did you test it?

Child lock worked fine. That's probably what kept me from figuring this out in the first place when it happened months prior. That's why I called it out at the 1:05 mark, at 2:09, and again at 5:08.
