Both rear doors on Pathfinder won't open

[Pklambooy]

Neither rear door opens from inside or outside.

I can hear the locking mechanism working.

Child lock is off.

Door handles feel right.

If it was one door I say something needs repairing, but both doors can't be councidence. Not familiar with Pathfinders but tnis would be a safety issue if one can't open doors????

Please try this, it worked for me.

 

Had the same problem with a '99 Pathfinder. Took Bob's suggestion and pounded (gently) with a rubber mallet on the outside door handle, but before I did that, I sprayed Kroll rust buster/lubricant into the handle openings when the handle was fully opened. The handle had no resistance before the procedure and just kind of flipped opened and closed. As I was tapping, slight resistance began to be felt at the full opening position of the handle. I continued to close the handle, tap some more, open the handle and get a bit more contact/resistance as I proceeded. After about 10 minutes of tapping, pulling open, spraying some more, closing and tapping again, getting a bit more resistance at full opening each time, I tapped the handle closed again and tried to open the door from the inside....Voila, she popped open.
