Front Door Wont Open From Inside Or Outside

  3. My Door Lock Won't Open

My Honda Accord 2004 front door won't open from the inside or outside how would I be able to open my door or get the panel off

It's the door handle itself. Do a search and you will find about 10,000 others who have had the same issue. Replace the door handle and problem solved, or you can pull the door apart (which you will have to do anyways) and clean it. Though that is just a temp fix, it will return at the most inopportune time. Well if you pulled on that 5cm cable that attaches to the handle and it still won't open your best bet is to pull the door lock module out and inspect there.

My car has 132000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.

That’s going to be a tough problem. I’ve dealt with that issue a few times over the years but I can’t say that I’ve done it on a 2004 Accord.In other cases I have been able to remove the driver’s seat working from inside the car, which gives access to the interior door panel. But it means getting into positions that I just can’t do anymore. Definitely a job for a younger man. I recommend you contact YourMechanic. They can send a technician to your home or office to check out your door and recommend a fix.
