Have you tried putting a screwdriver through the latch hole and pulling down on the screw driver (Imitating the opening movement of the latch) If that doesn't work you will need to remove the latch to release it.

How do you get the door latch on a Dodge Grand Caravan out of the closed position in order to close the door?

AnswerUnlock it with the key. --------If you're asking about the "latch" which holds the door shut (visible when door is open), it (the latch) may be in the CLOSED position. (When in the OPEN position, it resembles a "U" on its side.)When you close the door under normal circumstances, an internal "tooth" snaps down, closing the "U" into an "O," grasping the stationary peg in the door frame, thus holding the door in its closed position.I have "opened" a latch closed in this "O" position by inserting a short, sturdy screwdriver (in lieu of the door frame's "peg" ) and PULLING INWARD while operating the EXTERNAL DOOR HANDLE and pulling OUTWARD. (The door must be unlocked for this to work.)--------Next time - don't play with the latch of an open door. :-)


How do you fix a 2002 jaguar x-type door latch. The latch is movable but it won't latch or catch on its own. Any help would be greatly appreciated?

Check that the latch is working. With the door open, Push the latch back with a screwdriver, & make sure it is holding in the closed position. If it does not hold closed the lock or inner door actuating mechanism may be faulty & would possibly need to be replaced. If it does hold closed, it should be just a matter of adjusting the striker plate.
