Can you open the driver door from the inside? Maybe it is just frozen shut?

As far as the passenger door...hold the handle of the door up and close it. Once the door is closed let the handle down see if that works? The locking mechanism could be broke or just froze as well? I dunno...

If your at home do you happen to have a blow torch handy :lol: . Heat up the key for a few seconds and stick in.

remember i have a 94 GP so its the weird door handles, they pull outward from the side of the door, i live in an apartment so this like REALLY sucks cuz i dont have a place to hide my car. i think the link between the door handle and the door broke and i have no idea why it wont at least shut... just pulled the cd-player out and im about to call in sick to work, this just really sucks...

That really sucks to hear.. I had this happen on my old chevy the door would not shut one day in the winter! I had no choice but to just shut it as much as I could (and mind you I was in college on campus at the time) and hope no one stole the car... after a few days it magically worked agian.. sorry i can't be of more help. But I am guessing it has something to do with the frigid temps! Good Luck!!

on the door that wont latch there is a plastic panel on the in side of the door in the jam area take that off then you can adjust the latch very easy but I cant rember what to mess with once you get the pannel off I think it is easy to figure out though


good luck

I had a hard time closing my door yesterday as well.....finally got it.


When its frozen, I just pound around all the edges of the door.....usually works...
