Mazda 5 Sliding Door Won T Open

Opening door on mazda5 when child lock is engaged and outside handle is broken.

Mazda 5 sliding door won t open.

It won t open from the outside or the inside after a recent snow ice storm. Finally it just quit doing anything when either the key fob lock and unlock or the internal front door lock and unlock buttons where hit. The problem child is the driver side sliding rear door. I managed to get the inside door handle cover off from the front.

For a while it was hit miss and sometimes it would lock and other times not. I am trying to figure out how to open my wife s passenger rear sliding door on her 2007 mazda5. The outside handle literally came off in my hand. Repeat weekly in cold weather for optimal results.
