I had the same problem on my 2000 cargo van. I took the panel off the door on the inside (about 10 screws), and was able to manually open the door by reaching in and pulling on the latch. From there it is was easy to replace the handle with one made with better metal from the parts store (HELP! brand). I would suggest taking to old one with you to match it up. I bought the wrong one first time around even after the clerk looked it up in the computer.
the same way u change the driver side
where is my hood latch located on my 1999 Chevy silverado pickup
A person can get the old wiper blades off the wiper arms of a Chevy Astro Van by pressing the release latch and sliding them out the end. This allows the blades themselves to be changed without removing the whole arm.
how can i repair a 94 chevy k1500 tailgate latch. cannot open gate
Replace the door latch.
If I understand you right the door is opened and won't close because the latch is tripped. Lift up on the door handle and take your finger or a screw driver and move the latch to the open position
No the 2001 Chevy Tahoe is not equipped with the LATCH system for car seats. The LATCH system did not become standard in Chevy Tahoes until the 2002 models.
Just going by the question...I would say that the latch has gotten in "the closed door position". Be sure that the door is unlocked. With your finger lift out on the latch on the end of the door and use the door handle to "open" the door latch.
Try disconnecting your battery and reconnecting it this should reset the door.
in my 88 astro van I had to completely break out the back handle to first get the door open then I was able to remove interior door cover to do thr replacement. in my 99 asto van I was able to remove the interior cover to open the door then replace the handle.
You put your fingers on the latch and pull down. the latch is stuck closed will not operate auto or manual
The door latch and rods should already be in place BEFORE mounting the window and lock guts into the door. If the latch is secured correctly, and the rods in the proper position, connecting them to the door guts is common sense business.
