Sounds like a fun drive home! Glad everything is back to normal and safe for you again.:)

Thanks mate. He’s a natural!

Did you ever resolve this? I’m dealing with the same thing

did you find a solution? having the same problem at the moment (also with the 2008 impreza)

@@wojtazeq1236 I had to yank the inner panel off from within the car (which broke some of the plastic connecting points so had to super glue those back on later). Once that was off I had to peel back the plastic vapor barrier to gain access to the door actuator mechanism.( There were some other connecting points along the way that I had to unscrew). After many hours and over the course of days I managed to pull on the cables in the right way and/or flip the right lever on the actuator by chance which unlocked the door finally. All this is basically done by feel because you can't see what you are doing once your arm is jammed in the inside opening of the door. It did help me however to have the replacement part in hand to look at while all this was going on so I could understand better the inner workings of the door actuator. I hope that helps. It was a total pain. Hopefully you can figure it out quicker than I did.

@@sam382 Broke one or two connectors so I think I'm just gonna take it to the mechanic's cuz I'm probably going to sell the car in the near future. Thank you for the advice though, it's nice trying to do something myself every now and then.

Same problem here man

I could have a completely different issue, I'm here trying to figure out what my problem is but if I put the key in and turn to unlock and pull the handle it opens. Hope this helps

Did you figure it out without calling a locksmith im in the same boat it’s been closed for nearly a month because I won’t pay $200 for a locksmith to open my car door, but I’m fat-ish an I hate climbing over the seats so I barely use my car now an just use others cars
