How do you fix a lock that wont unlock from the outside?
Locks that are operated by a key from both sides have two sets of tumblers i them. It is best to get a new lock or contact a locksmith to have new tumbers installed. Soon it will not be able to unlock from either side. If it is new then something inside is defective or broken and if it is old it is probably worn out.

How do lockers work on a 2004 jeep Rubicon?
In order to activate the axle lock you must first shift into 4L (4wd low). Once in 4L, press the switch once to lock the rear axle, a second time to also lock the front. Pressing the switch a third time will unlock the front axle but keep the rear axle locked. A fourth press will once again engage the front axle in addition to the rear axle. In this manner you can easily toggle between having only the rear axle locked and having both axles locked. This is a useful feature for off-road applications where hard pulling is required (lock both axles), interspersed with maneuverability (rear axle lock only). It is very difficult, but not impossible, to turn while the front axle is locked. Pull up on the switch to unlock axles- this can be done with either the rear or both axles locked. Notice, the instrument panel will indicate which axle(s) is/are locked. It is an air activated locker- pressing the button activates an air compressor located near the transmission (sitting on the rear edge of the skid plate, driver's side) which engages the locker of one or the other differential, locking the spider gears inside a differential together. This forces the tires of one axle to spin at the same speed. When the locker is not engaged, the wheel with least resistance will spin while the other remains still. This is not ideal for off-road applications, particularly in mud or snow.
I have a 98 sport Cherokee and when I put a 800 cca battery in it, it was taller, but I wanted to make it fit. We had to bend the hood latch wire that was hitting the corner of battery out of the way slightly in order for the latch to grap and lock, took a while to achieve this but it has worked 100% since.

How do you repair an interior door handle on a 1997 Accord?
You may have to take the door panel off to find out wha is wrong with it.
ANSWER: Find the small plastic cap in the center of the handle. Use a knife blade or very small screwdriver to pop the cap loose. The cap should remain attached. Behind it, find the Philips screw and remove it. Use your thumb to push the handle assembly forward, toward the front of the car, it should now be loose. Pull it out and unplug the power window switch and power lock switch. Use a screwdriver to push back the plastic clip that holds the handle lever to the linkage. It's that easy!

Sounds like you need to replace the outside door handles. There is a piviot section that wears &/or breaks stopping the outside handle catching the locking mechanism. It is a bit fiddly, but after the first one they become easier. I have had to replace both rear handles on my 84 & 88 town cars - both use the same handle. Also check to see if the child safety lever has been enacted,it is located near the latch on the door.

It sounds like there could be a tiny (maybe even microscopic) break in a wire or a loose connection in the wiring inside the door. When the water leaks into the door interior the water acts as a connector across the break and when the water dries out the circuit is open again.
