Hi all,
I have 2018 Qashqai and the front passenger door will no longer open from the inside. The external handle works fine. Has anyone had a similar problem?
I’ve searched the forum and found other people have had a similar issue but I can’t really see how they resolved the problem. I have seen posts saying “remove the three screws that attach the lock to the door and then use a screwdriver to push the child lock to the 'off' position”, However If I remove the 3 screws wont the locking mechanism just fall into the door? Or do I need to remove the door card to get to the mechanism?

Any advice is most appreciated

The lock will not fall as its still attached by the cable, undo the 3 screws to get access, free the child lock bit and spray with lube

I know this is an old post but for anyone out there that experiences this problem in the future - there is a child lock on the front passenger door - it’s just inside the lock you can see it in the picture above . I’ve just has the same problem and turned the child lock off and now my door works, I hope this he
