    I get that, what happened to make it fail? What broke? Not being an ass, just trying to figure out why it stopped working. :thumbsup:

    My driver-s side door latch won't 'release' the latch when I pull up on handle-truck is 15 yrs. old(2002 Tacoma)
    Trying to find JUST the latch assembly or at least a picture of it-:confused::confused::confused: without pulling the whole door panel apart.
