Remove two screws from the inside cover plate under the door handle. Carefully pull the panel off starting at the top, you can just pry the window control apart, you don't need to unscrew that part. I sprayed white grease (lubricant) all around the door latch inside there, and it unlatched easy.

After I put it back together, the knob still doesn't rise as high as the other side. I think the linkage is binding, and the connecting rod is bent. At least if the door won't unlock with the button you can do it by hand.

After posting, I went out and checked how its working, I had to unlock it by hand. I had noticed when it was apart that the lock knob went forward and up. It binds on the door panel. I put 3 in 1 oil around the knob, and it seems to work perfectly, so I poured oil around the other knobs as well.

Start just clicks charged battery an jump?

Typically this signifies that your starter motor has either jammed, or is faulty. To check that it has not jammed, give it a whack on the end with a small hammer, or fairly large wrench. If that does the trick, then the starter motor was jammed, if not, you need a replacement starter motor.


What would cause a 10 amp fuse for the speedometer tach and odometer to blow everytime the ignition is turned on in my 1997 Olds Silhouette extended Minivan?

It is possible, POSSIBLE, that your odometer drive motor had broken some teeth on the gears and is jammed, therefore causing the motor to want to keep spinning, but it cannot because the broken gears have jammed it - this could possibly cause the fuse to blow. How many miles are on it?

How do you open door on 2000 Chevy Silverado when the door latch assembly is jammed and wont release?

I had this problem a few weeks ago on my 2001 silverado. I had to hit the toor from the outside with my shoulder like a football player might. The door then opened right up. I think I am going to have the problem again, as it seems that the door latch is worn and does not function correctly. I plan on replacing it soon

How do you fix a jammed door on a 1968 Buick Electra 225?

ON my 1967 Buick Electra 225 the driver door jammed and both the inside handle and outside handle felt like there was nothing connected. One day I peered into the window and could see a little metal tab on the left side that I could see was connected to the door mechanism. I just slid a flat head screwdriver down the window crack and pulled the tab up, back into the original position. It worked perfect. However, I've found that what jammed my door was that if the handles are pulled while locked it jams. Hope that helps.
