Faulty inside door handle

Post by pmitch »

Can't open the passenger door from the inside - outside is fine. Will need to take the door card off but is there a decent drawing anywhere of the mechanism and how it should be to allow the inside to operate properly?

I personally would remove both door cards then you will have a mirror image to look at.

I think with the card off whatever's wrong/broken/not working will be clearer than any drawing could make it.

Good luck!

Here you go, a page from Rimmers catalogue. https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GRID019915 There are two rods that connect the inner handle to the lock. One or both of them will have become disconnected. You will need to find the clip retainers (part 56 on the drawing) and the connector (part 52), any one of which might have fallen into the bottom of the door.
