I have a 1997 Toyota Camry XLE, and according to the little lock levers on the side of the door, the child-safety locks are unlocked. However, the back doors still cannot be opened from the inside.

  1. There may be some kind of override lock within the door. You should try taking it to a dealership (the autobody area handles doors) and ask them to disengage it.


  2. move the little lock levers in the other direction, baby.

  3. If the lever is in the unlocked position and the doors will still not open then the internal mechanism is bad.

  4. open the doors and theres the little child safety lock switch switch it the other way

  5. On my minivan, the inside (door frame) latch came loose from the mechanicals on the inside of the door. no matter what the setting was on the selector it would not change the latch because it came loose. I had to take the door panel off and pop a connecting rod back into place...

  6. On the locking system (latch) for each back door there is a small toggle type lever.  Simply move this toggle to the other position.  Make sure the car is unlocked before you try this.

    You might not get it done correctly and get seriously locked out of your car.

  7. ummm that is kinda easy just switch the child lock in the right hand door

    (open the door first)

  8. try switching the little switch the other way...
