I have a post over on electrical for a pwr window inop and now the right door will not release to close the door, All this after getting the heater core and dash back together.
The door is closed and I open it with the door handle if I just press it down a little and open the door I can cloase the door, but if I push down the door handle like I do it will lock and not release the door latch so when you close the door it will not cloase becasue the door latch will not release so it will latch on the door post. The handle springs back but the slider inside the door goes down to far and will not release when the door handle is released. I can get a screw driver to push it back up then I can close the door but if not it will just hit and not latch?
From inside the panel it looks like the door handle pushing down pushes the latch too far and it latches down and will not release, if I am careful I can push the handle to open the door and the lever will spring back in place so it will close.It is as if the rod on the door handle pushes the latch down to far and then it jams and will not release so the door will latch.
any suggestions. I am thinking I will have to remove the dorr handle outside and then the rod needs to be screwed in more so the door handle even if I push it in all the way cannot push the rod down as far and push the latch down too far where it gets stuck and will not release so the door can close. Am I thinking right, the spring works fine and first I sprayed liquid wrench in to loosen things up but the system works fine but the lever is going to far in movement and it jambs down???
