Mazda 5 Sliding Door Won T Open

I managed to get the inside door handle cover off from the front.

Mazda 5 sliding door won t open.

Opening door on mazda5 when child lock is engaged and outside handle is broken. If you warm up the car in a warm garage or run with heat on high for an hour or more the locking mechanism will work again. Finally it just quit doing anything when either the key fob lock and unlock or the internal front door lock and unlock buttons where hit. I am trying to figure out how to open my wife s passenger rear sliding door on her 2007 mazda5.

Repeat weekly in cold weather for optimal results. It won t open from the outside or the inside after a recent snow ice storm. A temporary fix is to spray grease into the rear locking mechanism in door not the latch on the van body and saturate it so that the latch mechanism stays slippery. The outside handle literally came off in my hand.
