My drivers side door handle won't open the door from the inside. I have to pull the *%## out of it and put my shoulder into it. It's worse when it's cold out for some reason! The outside handle works just fine. Is there an adjustment I can do, or any pointers out there before I tear into this thing?
door handle on inside on 06 W9 won't open

Probably the small plastic clip that holds the rod that runs from the handle to the latch broke or came off...
Take the inside panel off the door and look at the linkage...It will be really obvious if that's what happened...Mine did it once!
It takes longer to get the door apart than it does to fix the thing.
While you're in there put a little lithium grease on the moving parts, It will make them easier to operate and also help them last longer.
Good luck! -
probly the cable from inside door handle to latch try pulling in on the door then pull the handle i have 6 of them with this issue all 06. the cable must strech and not release the latch till you take some pressure off the latch mech.
Cat nip Thanks this. -
I'm dreading taking off that panel!
-
it's not that bad, use a drill because there's a ton of screws or your wrist will hate you.
-
Well, it is a choice between doing it or paying someone else to do it. . .
Nothing to be afraid of there. -
Oh yeah, I'll be doing it. Keep the Dewalt in the truck at all times!

Thanks for everybodys input. Fixed it today. Cable was loose so I shimmed her.

I think catnip has his truck rigged this way to allow females from the truck stop's, in his truck, but not out.
