What's up guys, so I bought a 95 contour 2 months ago and the rear passenger door was stuck closed, and the other day my driver door got stuck closed too. I can hear the door lock actuator moving and when you lift both handles on both doors I can hear them moving too, but the doors wont open. I think they are stuck locked cause maybe something is broken in-between the actuator and the lock. I cant get the door panel off with the door closed so I'm kinda stuck lol. any ideas on what I can do or where I can go? or if anyone can help me out? thanks
