there is 5 screws 2 little ones and 3 larger ones in the door panel. One is in the latch to open it. take that one out and then take out the three big ones in the arm rest. look for the holes. The fifth one is a small one in the corner by the dash. slide the seat back to gain as much room as possible. the door panel will come off the door theres just plastic reuseable buttons they stay with the panel. start at the bottom and move to the top. The top of the panel is hooked into the rubber part of the window seal. but you should be able to see two rods. one for the locks and one for the clasp. pry off carefully the plastic holders they just swing out of the way. and the rod drops out the bottom and one out the top. pull on both toward the front of vehicle. One will make it open. check to make sure theyre hooked up.
The rod on the door handle has an adjustment. Remove the door handle and adjust the rod so it pushes the locking device further.
you must use a wedge on the outside above the handle to see inside and then use a coat hanger or something long to pull the handle rod
There is a door handle on the inside and the outside. Neither uses a tennis ball.
The rear hatch is unlocked with the same switches as the other doors. It is then only opened with the outside handle.
My problem was the outside handle wasnt working, and the childlock was put on, and door closed. To open a door I couldn't get open from either side, I unscrewed the handle from the inside. I pulled the rod with my fingers, and it opened, then I put the rod on the one from the inside handle. I'm still figuring out how to take the panel off, or get to where the rod is on the outside handle. I cant reach far enough to put the rod back on the handle for the outside, so any help on that would be nice!~
you might not have unlocked the dungeon
It depends on the type of car. The best solution is to ensure the door is unlocked, then wedge between the door and window to make an opening. Using a rod (bent depending on the type of mechanism) attempt to manipulate the latch. Sometimes the linkage can get disconnected or break. If this fails, an auto body shop can get it open.
Make sure the door is unlocked then lift up on the handle. If it doesn't work the first time try a couple more times. If it still isn't open lift up on the handle and pry the latch with a flathead screwdriver.
Make sure the door is unlocked and pull the handle, either inside or outside, and it should open the lock. If not, use a screwdriver to pry it back open with the handle pulled all the way out or up depending on the handle.
No, there is not a diagram to take apart the outside of a door handle. However, there is a diagram that shows how a door is held together, and from there a person can take apart the outside door handle.
Inside handle, outside handle, sliding door handle?
Some doors have a handle so you can open them from the outside, as long as it is unlocked. If you don't have a spare set of keys on you, then there really isn't a lot you can do. You could try to climb in through a window, but then you may get mistaken for a burglar.
