To fix the door latch on a 2002 Jaguar X-Type that won’t open, start by removing the interior door panel to access the latch mechanism. Inspect the latch for any visible obstructions or broken components; lubricate the latch with a suitable lubricant if it's stuck. If the latch is damaged, it may need to be replaced. Reassemble the door panel once the repair is complete, ensuring all components are properly aligned.
