Toyota: Passenger door, toyota camry, child proof
QuestionI have a '98 Toyota Camry. The front passenger door will not
open from the outside but will from the inside. How can I fix
this?
AnswerIt sounds like you have child-proof lock in the "active" mode. Open the door and have a look around the area where the door catches the "car" and locks. There should be a sticker showing that it's a a child safety lock to prevent kids from opening the door by mistake while the car is moving. Turning it off is nothing, it's just moving a tab to the "off" position. You'll probably need a screwdriver just to get some leverage because it's a little hard to do with just you fingets.
