the rear doors on this Hyundai Tucson won't open from the inside or outside. this how to open them. this is not how to fix em. these doors will need a new latch.
Dude. You're a legend. I have a 2016 Tucson in Australia and I was just out with the missus and my newborn twins and this happened. I had to load one of the girls in the car through the rear window. Did your trick once I got home and it works again. If it fails again I can get a door lock actuator and use the trick again to get it open.
Thank you very much for the video. I followed the instructions and the technique worked perfectly. Now I can get the door panel off and DIY adjust or replace the latch mechanism. The basic warranty is 5 yrs/ 60K miles, so ours is out of warranty by a year. There are literally hundreds of posts out there about Hyundai Tucson door locks failing to unlock.
Thank you so much to you for saving me so much money and also headache. My kia sportage 2016 had exact same issue where rear left hand side door wouldn't open from inside or outside. I could hear the latch and actuator clicking but had no luck opening it. so I suspected it might have jammed due to dust and since we drive around dirt road a lot. YOU SOLVED MY PROBLEM, and I was able to open the door using exact same technique and then from there it was downhill. I got the outside handle bar out and gave a good lubrication and also sprayed inside the door lock mechanism. And VOLA. my door is as good as new. Thanks again and for reference I had look at so many other videos to find a way to open the door but none worked. Cheers
Thankyou bud. You're a star , we had same problem and tried everything . Watched your video and it worked first time Cheers Buddy all the way from England
Thank you so much. My door did not open after the door was closed on a seatbelt. For viewer in formation, trust the video and push firmly. I had my window up because I am not sure what is behind the cable and definitely don't want to bust a window.
If I could jump through this screen and hug you right now I would!! Thank you!! I was trying to figure out how i was going to tie my door shut from the inside to get to work tomorrow!You are the best!! May many good things come your way❤❤❤❤Apparently this is a ongoing issue with Hyundais and despite it being very dangerous that you cant’ get out of you car quickly no recall has been issued. Take care my friend!!
Is it possible to add the years of Hyundai vehicles that are impacted by this? I know on some of the newer vehicles people have had difficulties with the handles that you can touch on the outside to lock and unlock. It's just a learning curve for some people though. I honestly though this video was about that until I watched and found out it was for different models/years.
Ours has given up the ghost completely now, but when it first started to play up i did manage to open it from outside while holding the handle up and tapping the door with my other hand, also used a neodymium magnet near the outer handle while pulling the handle and that worked for a while as it must be pulling on the metal internals. Just thought id add this as a few seem to be damaging the handles, will need to mod or replace the unit though and even though there is a 10 year warranty on a hyundai pdf for this common problem our uk 2017 tucson magically doesnt get the free fix!!!
My wife's 2017 did the same thing with both back doors but her handle is different. When I open it up there ls not as much space and I can't see the cable
hello , please advice if this working same on the front door , i have elantra ad 2016 , and my front passenger door dont want to open from inside and outside ,thanks
I’ve seen videos on these and I know I can do it- but does this work even if the door is on child lock sadly? Or is my only option is to go through from being outside … been trying to find a solution for so long and I just gave up
My 2017 is having this issue. The Hyundai dealership told me even though it’s under warranty I still have to pay the hundred bucks to get it checked and I’m too cheap lol guess I’ll just keep a screwdriver in the car
Same thing happening with our 2017..what a crock of shit..the engine went in it too after a year..thankfully they covered it but first accused me of not getting my oil change they wanted the receipts for the oil change to prove it.. I initially asked them did they find metal in the oil pan they said no..after I gave them all the receipts they magically found some in the oil pan.. this car is full of flaws.. the ignition coil went twice on it..said it wasn’t under warranty.. this car is a disaster
What cable you talking about because I don’t see what your showing before you open the door, only that you had your flashlight pointing at the door handle 😒
hey thanks for the video - im having the same problem but in my case the child lock is on , no matter what i try the door wont open from the inside or from the outside , is there any other way ?
@@hyundaihowto ok so what i did is i remove plastic of the door from inside, enough so i can put my hand inside and disconnect the cables so i can pull them and open the door :)
Mine doesnt open lol 2017 kia sportage suck lol. This door has been locked and cannot be accessed from outside or inside. It locks and unlocks yet still cannot be accessed. Its been like this forever😂
I have never had this problem. so i don't how to solve it without destroying the door at this point. Sorry. If it ever happens to me i will post a video showing how I did it.
I was wondering this too! Is there a video of the person you referenced at first about getting the door to open from the outside to watch? Bc I thought about that but idk how to get to the cable nor do I know what to do. Bc if it’s child lock- the door def will need to be opened from outside
@@hyundaihowtoHi, i have my hyundai santa fe 2014 whit this same problem, the driver door dont open, i just try this way and dont work. Can you help me please?
It wasn’t working for me either but I figured out it was easier to do it from the outside! I could see the cable more easily and it worked like a charm. I have a 2017 Elantra
@@hyundaihowto just do it from outside. My child's mother had the same issue baby lock on. Got it to open and close multiple times. But now it messed up again. Is there a video for replacement
