ok so after a nice night with some european hotties

i get home and pull the lever to get out of my car
NOTHING HAPPENS, so i have to roll the window down and
open the door up from the outside

i want to fix this tomarrow! hopefully in the morning
but when i searched its 2 screws then pull up on the panel?

what kind of trouble am i looking at, is there a rod
that connects to the inside handle?

 

Its more than 2 screws its actually 5 there’s 2 on the side probably the ones you saw and one in the place were you grab the door on the arm rest, then 2 underneath the little plastic piece that pops out once you have the first out..... Then its just pull up disconnect a bunch of wires and your good, its probably just that the cable has broke its clip and popped off the handle on the inside, mine did this and I temporally fixed it with a zip tie, and that actually worked really well

 

replacement door handles are about 50 bucks on most parts sites

 

Speaking of door handles.. yesterday morning it was freezing, there was frost all over my car. so i got in started it up, and started scraping the frost off. My door was closed partially, whre you have to pull the door handle to open it but not all the way closed, and it wouldn't open. So i gave it a good thrust, closed it completely, could plainly see the door was unlocked, but when I tried to open it it acted like it was locked. I tried the other 3 doors (luckily i have them all unlocked) and they all worked fine. Strange, I'm assuming the cold had something to do with it? Anyone else ever have this issue?

 

ok i popped the panel off

not to shabby!
but here's what i did find

the cable snapped on the door lock side:

2 more questions, I removed it from the inside door handle
(it was basically pull a plastic clip and that's it)
how do i remove it from the locking mechinizim on the inside?
(its a tight area and hopefully there's a trick)
and where are some places i can get the replacement cable, and
does it include the plastic cover and everything?

 

Its not that hard to just pull the whole window and track assembly, its just 4 bolts and its all out and the latch is easily accessed

 

Here are a few pix that might help

isn't it possible to pull it out
without removing the window?

from what it looks like, i have to rotate the plastic
till it "pops" out?

 

I have the same problem with mine man, it's so embaressing rolling the window down to unlock your door. both my driver side front and rear can't open from the inside. i have not had the time to get the panels off yet, but let me know how it goes for you and how you fixed it...
thanks man
