Hi,
I have a 1989 Chevy astro van (4.3L). Someone tried to break into the van and damaged the rear door lock. It is not electrical. The door is now stuck locked.
Is there any way to get it open and what parts would I need to repair it?
Thank You For Any help

you can jimmy the door open but im not sure if it will solve the problem.

if you do try this be careful not to scratch the window!

use a coat hanger or some other fairly strong wire straighten it out and put a bend for a bit of a hook

k then slip the hook end down the side of the window and door. There is a wire that is going across
try to hook it a pull up the door should unlock. oh and try closer to the handle.

or you could remove the inside paneling on the door and take a closer look at what is wrong.
