drivers rear door latch/actuator

[mtlmech]

i have an 03 libby sport and has anyone had any problems with the drivers (or pass) rear door seizing shut and not opening? i haven't played with it yet but the window on that particular door was stuck down for awhile before i got it and i'm pretty sure the latch is bad. the latch appears to be made 1 piece with the electronic actuator (for pwr locks) and it's in a real pain in the a** location so wondering if anyone's expeirenced this and have any tips/advise

thanks in advance mtlmech

I can only suggest that you refer to the Service Manuals to read up on the door locks.
It could be an electrical problem so refer to the Wiring Diagrams in section 8W of the manuals. Download the 2003 KJ Service Manual.

Is the door firmly shut or do you have access to the latch?
Possibly the interlock on the rear doors for Child Proof Lock may be causing a problem.
