The lock on my driver door is stuck in the locked position and will not unlock with the key fob, outer manual lock, or interior power lock. cannot even pull up the lock, can only open door by pulling interior door handle. researched and this is a pretty common problem across all dodge models around my year model. *tr
Driver door lock is stuck down in lock position. power door locks and key will not open door. door will open from inside door latch. have been many complaints on this issue on the forums. *tr
Driver door power lock actuator failed, resulting in disabling the outside door handle and the only key cylinder on the vehicle. as a result, the keys were locked in the truck with the motor running, and there was no way to enter the vehicle with a spare key since there is no lock cylinder on the passenger side door on this truck. note that locking the keys in the truck with the motor running when experiencing this failure is virtually inevitable with this truck, since it automatically locks the doors when you reach 10 mph and the other three doors stay locked when you exit from the driver door. i had to call aaa to open the truck since there was no way to get in even with a spare key, since this failure disables the only door lock on the truck. i believe this is a safety concern since being locked out of your running vehicle in the winter could be a safety hazard, especially if you are out of cellphone range or your cellphone is locked in the vehicle, as mine was. *tr
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 2500. the contact stated that the passenger side door would not unlock when using the key. the dealer repaired the vehicle, however, the contact was unsure of what they repaired. the current mileage was 18,500 and failure mileage was 18,400.
I have been locked out of my 2005 dodge 2500 truck with the engine running. the lock assembly on the truck became non-operational with the key and door handle. even with a spare key, it was useless. i had to call my wife to bring me the extra fob ( electronic door opener) to get in the truck. a contributing fact was that there was not a lock on the passenger handle. my question is what would happen if the vehicle was a standard model without a fob? the dealership said that they have seen this happen several times. by the way, my dealer was very helpful. but what about other instances of this occurring. *nm
