Ok, my lock actuator needs to be replaced... the problem is that it stop working with the door being locked and closed.

I have been able to take the entire panel off, from the inside and without being able to open the door... but by seeing the other door, I believe there are 3 screws to be removed, and it seems that the only way to remove them is having the door open.

Any help??

How do I open the rear door of my Mazda 3 if the actuator is damaged, and the lock wont move...

Experts out there...

 

I too have exactly the same problem. I was hoping for to see a reply from someone with an answer.

Did you manage to fix the issue?

If not is there anyone out there that can help?
