Door will not open
 
Hey guys,
a few days ago I went to open my passenger side door and the latch will not open. The key appears to open the locking mechanism however when you press the outside door button or pull the inside lever you can feel resistance but nothing happens, the door will not budge...
I need help, how the heck am I going to get this open to diagnose and fix the issue. Any help would be awesome
thanks

Does the door look like it's closed too far? Try pulling on it really hard, it may just be stuck. It's common with these trucks.

You may have to pull the doorpanel off,and see if it is moving the latch,or what is going on in there.Really it sounds like it's still locked to me.With the panel off you can manually unlock it,or trip the latch.
