71MonteCarloMD Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 I think I may have same issue whenever I lock the drivers side, it won’t open. If I have same problem, how do I resolve this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71MonteCarloMD Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Aaron, it won’t open unless I pry in the middle to unlatch one of internal rods then it will open. Does that means I need a new door latch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that means I need a new door latch? If you can get the latch to function by manually moving the paddle at the top or pulling on the lever on the side of the latch then it sounds like maybe the latch itself works but the rods in the door aren’t pulling like they should. It could be as simple as needing lubrication. One other thing I ran into is that the pushrod on the outer door handle button wasn’t long enough to push the paddle on the latch the necessary amount to open the door. I had a door handle button with a longer pushrod and cut it down to the desired length. It now opens without a problem using the door handle. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
