    Hey all,

    Last night I replaced my stock mirrors with towing mirrors and everything went well. However, today I cannot unlock the passenger door. It worked when I checked it last night but now the lock won't do anything. I'm guessing that I must not have reattached one of the cables properly.

    So here's where I'm stuck: how do I get I the panel off if I can't open the door? I'm feeling like a real dumbass right now.

    And for clarity I have a 2014 CM. Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

    That's the thing. I can unlock all of the doors except the passenger.

    Have a lock-smith jimmy the door. Just make sure you don't relook, until you've resolved the problem.

    @aramirez73 your idea gave me an idea to try locking and unlocking the door with the key. The first few times didn't do anything, but after the fourth I was able to open the passenger door from the outside. I was able to get it home and get the door panel off and found that there was a slight bend in the one lock cable. It wasn't a huge bend, but definitely enough to throw off the action (sorry I'm not a mechanic so I'm using my terms).

    Anyway, lesson learned. Thanks to you and @bobeast for taking time on a Saturday night to help me get unstuck. You all rock!
