You have to take the trim pad off and get inside the door.
If the door on a 1993 Corsica opens from the inside and not the outside, one issue is likely the problem. The linkage connecting the outside door handle is disconnected or broken. It is also possible that the door lock is faulty.
Most likely the outside handle is broken. The ear that the rod connects to breaks off. Only solution is to replace. Remove the inside panel and there will be one or two bolts holding the handle in. ON the back door there should only be one rod connected to it.
Open the door from the inside!!!
from the inside. take your door panel off and look around in there. the door handle is usually held on with pop rivets that have to be cut off from the inside of the door.
If the door won't open from the inside, then maybe it's due to the child safety locks. If it won't open from the outside, then maybe it's locked, or the door handle mechanism has broken, as it has on my 1998 Civic. From the inside, you might be able to remove the screw holding the handle and slide the handle set forward to remove it from the door.
The problem is that the inside door handle is broken. Although the inside door handle needs replacement you can still open the door by pulling on the lock lever above the handle.
A door is a common object that fits this description. When a door is closed, it appears as a solid barrier on the outside but allows entry to the inside. When the door is open, the inside becomes visible from the outside, blurring the distinction between the two spaces.
how do I open a door when the handle broke and the part theat connects into the outer wall will not release?
To fix a door with a broken handle on the outside that won’t open from the inside, first, check if the latch is stuck. Try using a flathead screwdriver to manually turn the latch from the inside if there's a visible slot. If that doesn’t work, remove the door handle and lock mechanism to inspect for any broken parts. Replace any damaged components or the entire handle set as needed, then reassemble the door.
check the pull rod from the inside door handle to the door latch. You have to remove the inner door panel. But first, check the switch on the edge of the door to make sure the child safety lock is not engaged. These were designed to prevent kids from opening the door. there should be a little pin switch close to the actual door latch.
yes by putting one leg inside and the over outside
