I'm Locked Out Of My Car! Door Locks No Worky

[Bond]

I went to take the Skyline (R33 S2) for a spin. I put the key in the lock and nothing! I couldn't get it unlocked. I went over to the passenger side and the same thing. I tried the boot and it opened no problems.

Have my locks been sabotaged or is my central locking (no remote) playing funny buggers???

What are my options? Any help would be appreciated.

Update. I just disconnected the battery to see if the locks were some how being held shut but no difference.

could be a fuses? did you check all the fuses in the boot you can get too? i know you cant get to anymore than those but i dont know where the c lock fuses is!

could be a little worn try giggling the key as you turn it, works for me when my doors wont unlock. otherwise just break in or if you dony know how call your roadside assist for your state or a locksmith

Have you got/had an after market alarm? If slave motors have been added to your doors this could be your problem if they have seized up or have a fault. If you have them and don't use keyless entry anymore you may be able to disconnect.

The locks should work even without the alarm ? Unless its been so long the lock barrel is crusted and won't turn or i think 1 lock actuator failed from siezing in my lifetime and it had sand and salt from no window seal mind you the rusted door bottom you could shoove a finger thru

actuators fail for these reasons , loose and rod sliding ,wired wrong, blown fuse, hitting something installed later like speakers or ? , door trim rubbing, on older cars like AU r31 the lock buttons get stuck , silicone spray fixed again for a year poor design, even relay failure is extremely low most of the time its due to crusty terminals not the relay itself
