Oh, dude, when both handles are broken, you can try rolling down the window and using the exterior door handle, or you could crawl through the trunk if it's accessible. Worst case scenario, just call a locksmith or break a window - but like, maybe don't do that unless you're in a real pickle.
open it from the inside? actually i had the same problem. the handles themselves were not broken but the spring inside had come out of place and i had to bend it back so that it would push down far enough to open the door, also check the salvage yards.
how do I open a door when the handle broke and the part theat connects into the outer wall will not release?
Roll down the window, reach outside, and lift the door latch or lever.
the linkages to either the handles or the lock or both has come off. here's the kicker... you need to open the door to take of the inside door pannel to fix it. try to remove the pannel with the door closed. or a "skilled" vheicle locksmith could open it from the outside...but it's not cheap.
crawl in from the trunk i do
Check the Actuator

On the inside of the handle is a protruding arm into which is inserted a rod that is pushed down to release the latch when you pull up on the handle. The arm on your door handles is broken. You can buy rear handles on Ebay. Take care to get the proper year. 1988-1990 handles are smaller than 1991-1994 handles. The good news is that the rear handles are interchangable left to right, as they have the little arms at both sides of the handle. Kids and ham-handed buffoons do not mix well with XJ40 door handles.
