Back passenger door won't open inside or out

Alright with door closed on the vehicle how do I get them aligned again. A 90 degree coat hanger ?

 

Another trick that has worked for me is to pull the rod/cable off the interior door handle. Give it a good yank. Maybe put some vice grips on it and give it a little more force then it should have. That usually opens the door. Unless the child safety lock is on. If that is the case, then you can reach in with the door panel off and disengage the child safety lock

 

The child safety lock may be partially engaged.... usually a long handled flat screw driver can be used to manipulate it to disengage

 

With the lever fully operated:


It looks like this behind the scenes

 

I know it's a pain in the ass but if you were to pull off the other side door panel to compare the 2 sides, maybe you will notice something that isn't right. Somewhere that the rods are off or out of alignment

 

Is the lock operating properly?

 

That's going to be tomorrow's course of action if I can't solve it. Thankfully I don't work until later

Lock sounds like it's working correctly but cannot be opened from the outside or inside so maybe a partial child lock isn't the only thing going on?

 

In the lower picture that you just posted, the white plastic horseshoe needs to push down on that gold colored stem. Can you manipulate that gold colored stem in order to open the door?

 

What is that cap badge you have on your profile? I spent some time with the 11th field out of guelph

 

I'm going to try now lol

31 Combat Engineer Regiment 'The Elgins' out of Waterloo. How long ago were you with 11fd?

 

About 32 years ago I guess lol. Almost a lifetime lol

 

I can manipulate it down but it won't unlock...child safety may be stuck half cocked.

 

That's 3 CDs ! Haha not much has changed except they have M777s now.

 

The biggest thrill in my life other then my kids was firing the 105 Howie.... still half deaf lmfao

 

The old C3? We got to blow one of them up after a couple of 7 Tor gunners got a round stuck

 

Nice. Up in meaford? Would have loved to seen that

 

Yup Yup. There's still a gun destruction part in the PAM. Now I know why ahha


But to the topic at hand, if the child lock is half cocked and I manage to free it but it still won't open do you have any suggestions?

 

Try and take the cable off the interior handle. It counder be that the handle isn't extending far enough to open it. Put a pair of vice grips on the cable itself and pull. It might just unjar everything

 

and final question haha, how do I manage to free the child safety lock. It was a hell of a fit with my hand, and knowing where the switch sits, i dont know how ill be able to reach it

 

Top drawer left side of my tool box. Long handle pick set lmfao. Sorry I had to say it. Maybe you can take a wire coat hanger and bend it in order to acess the switch?
