On your 96 GMC Jimmy the latch on the driver side door will not catch?

I came back from my SuperTech....in less than 10 seconds...FIXED. He reached in with two fingers, slid the cam out from inside the top part of the lock...(it is shaped like a flattened out banana ...only it is about 3/4 of an inch long). The "jaws" opened and the lock catches the bars on the inside of the door and works as good as new!! Remember...do not force these cams, they slide open very easy.

Did you check the door latch/lock. The latch part might be broken on the inside. If you have the door already open it is easy to chisel out the old door latch inside of the door.

Have a 97 Monte LS with what seems like a sprung latch - it bounces off the pin it usually grabs. Gave it a shot of WD-40 tried to find a release with a screw driver no luck. Outside temp is 20-ideas?
*continued question* This is a driver's door latch.... if there is a catch to release the latch back into the normal position I cannot seem to find it with the screw driver attempts. Again it is bitter cold out but the latch isn't seized by ice, and the door does not seem to be weighed down on it's hinges and out of normal "closing" alignment (but I cannot guaranty it isn't)
How can you repair the front driver's side door when the latch does not catch?
Read on another site, to simply lubricate the latch excessively with WD40 and then continue to open and close door handle until the latch releases and catches. I just tried this minutes ago with my Pontiac sunfire and sat in my car held the door closed and pulled the open & close door handle in and out until the latch caught. It worked great !! Now the door latch catchs without a problem. Apparently, some latchs just need to be lubricated quite often. Hope this helps. Added: WD40 is NOT a lubricant. You can use it to clean out the latch, but then have to put a lubricant after drying.
