drivers door not opening.

Post by 86-surf »

Yesterday after work i got home and my drivers door would not open, and the key was hard to turn, I managed to unlock it by turning the key and pulling the door leaver, But the door still would not open after unlocking it.

The passengers side door has never opend from the key so i had to get out the old coat hanger and unlock it.. I managed to take the dirvers door panel/card thing off without opening the door , but i couldn't see what the problem is.

I Am thinking that my brother tryed to brake into my truck to get my tools but F**k*d it up.

does any one know what the problem may be?

Thanks

look at the little metal rods that go between the door latch to the lock and handles, I sounds like they have been bent or knocked out of place.
There is no mechanical problem so difficult that it cannot be solved by brute strength and ignorance.

I have this problem occassionally with my LN130 and I would imagine the latches/assemblies are similar.

It's very difficult to see in that part of the door but I grab a drift and hammer and tap away at everything until it opens.

I cleaned and lubed everything in there and it hasn't happened since touch wood....
