Need some help with a ZE1 LEAF with a rear door lock seeming to have failed when locked. There is 12V to the loom plug in both lock and unlock functions. Shorting 12V to the lock mechanism pins does not work either. Winding resistance seems OK in both coils so it's likely seized/jammed rather than burnt out. The child lock is off, and the outside handle doesn't open the door either.
Anyone have a way to open the door without damaging car or wallet , so the lock assembly can be removed?
[SOLVED] I was able to puncture the case of the latch with a screwdriver and release the catch. Though I'm still disturbed that there's no emergency release.
