I am currently on my 3rd Honda Accord and am probably going to be buying a 2006 EX-L V6 tomorrow morning. The car is in perfect shape but the only thing that is wrong is that the back left door will not open from the inside. I am aware of the child safety locks and tried fooling around with it but it still wouldn't open. Since I don't have the manual, is there something I am missing or do you think that the lock mechanism just came disconnected inside the door? Either way, what do you think the fix is? Thanks.

 

This happen to my cb7. I didn't quite understand how it failed. Mine would not let the door open at all. I had to remove the door panel from the inside (talk about a PITA!) then remove child safety lock all together to have access to my door. I didn't really look into it anymore since I don't care about having a child safely lock on my doors.
Good luck on finding the cause

 

If you can open the door from the outside, then take off the inner panel.

There's a cable (#11/20 in the picture) from the inside lever back to the latch. Broken or disconnected?

 

Well, the good new is that I figured out that you really have to press hard on the child safety lock to disable it. I just wasn't moving it enough. The bad news is that the people decided to sell the car to their friends. There goes my awesome deal.

 

After YOU figured out how to fix the door too!

 

I have a 2006 Honda Accord Coupe. The driver door will not open from the inside. I can not figure out how to get the handle off to see if the rod is attached and i can nto figure out how to get the panel off either.

 

BEWARE!!! it is nearly impossible to remove the door panels without KNOWING the trick! To release the inside door latch cable from the inside handle, DO NOT pull the handle out of the door (just unscrew it). Leave it snapped into the door panel, lay under the door panel pulled away from the inside metal skin. Reach up and remove the door latch clip and cable from the plastic inside latch handle. Honda leaves ZERO clearance for that cable to be pulled out so you can release the cable without laying on the ground under the door panel. If you pull too hard trying to remove the cable from the latch, the green cable guide WILL BREAK!!!
