[Updated pics] Door won't open from the interior

Postby mig0s » Sat May 08, 2010 11:03 pm

Hey y'all,

I've have a small but very arrogant issue that I knew since before I bought the car. The doors won't open from the interior, everytime i wanna get out I have to roll down the windows and pull the handle from the outside =.=

EDIT: I removed the whole door panel and can't see what the problem is...

Anyone has any ideas?

Thanks

Stick a flathead screwdriver in the gap between the lock and the bezel itself, turn slightly to open up the gap, and pop out the bezel.

I'll keep trying thanks for the help.


Anyone else have suggestions not only on popping out the bezel, but on fixing the lock issues?

Did you remove the screw behind the little cap in the center of the bezel??

You need to pop that little cap off first. You will see a little screw back there. Then try to remove the bezel by putting a flat head at the TOP of the door lock and turn. The bezel should be lifted enough to pop off then.

I don't see no screws... Unless you mean the square cap?

There is a screw behind that cap and you will need to remove that screw.

There should be two clips on the door handle bezel....one on the right and one on the left.

If you have a pick or an upholstery tool (panal remover) you can use it to unhook the door bezel from the door. Make sure you don't use too much force or you will break those two clips connected by the bezel.

The only thing I can think of as to why your doors don't open from the inside is because the door cables aren't connected or broken perhaps, the previous owner probably attempted to repair the doors for some reason or other is my only guess.

Make sure if you are removing the entire Door Panal, there will be additional screws on the bottom of the door, by the mirror there are two more, one in the center where you pull the door to close it and a few push in clips.

Everyone whose posted in your thread so far, including myself, only listed what to do to remove the door handle bezel and not the entire door panal.

Hope this helps you out. 8)

Update: I removed the whole door panel but can`t see what`s the problem. I have a 2 inch coil that I know might be involved... I think I might have to remove the lock, and I have no idea how to..

Anyone has any idea how to fix this?

You should take pictures so we can show and point to you what could be wrong.
It could be the metal arm or plastic tab that could be broken.

sounds like you have a broken cable. I replaced one of those for another member on here before. It connects from the inside door handle to the door latch.

Its a pretty cheap part between 10 to 15 bucks to replace.

Alright guys i'm updating some pics (sorry for crappy quality...cell phone pics):

Here you can see the poor panel is taken off
Image

Here, the interior door lock with the bezel off
Image

Here is that black cable linking the interior unlock handle and the door lock
Image

And here you can see the coil I was talking about. I found it in the passenger side glove box. I am sure it has something to do with it. And at the left I don't know what it is for.

Anyone has any ideas?

Hmmm....
The coil looks like for a seat??
The left thing that looks like a bracket wit a bolt goes to the rear seats on top of the rear package tray.
