passenger door won't unlock
hey guys the door on my passenger side won't unlock it will lock though.I pulled the asembly out and I can't seem to figure out why it won't unlock by it self.If I move the arm atached to the claw I can unlock it ,but if pull on the rod to unlock it ,it does nothing.

Re: passenger door won't unlock
First impression would tell me the latch is borked. If none of the linkage is in a bind and can be moved freely, then it'd almost have to be the latch.

Re: passenger door won't unlock
I have the entire latch out ans on the bench.when it was in the door you could move the lock a little bit but it felt like it was jammed .just to get the door open I had to use pliers on the key to force it open so I could get the door open to take the panel off.I almost ripped the lock cylinder out of the door.the button on the outside works fine so does the handle inside.It was working fine when I changed the lock cylinders and for some reason now it doesn't want to unlock.

Re: passenger door won't unlock
lithium white grease would be better. The wd40 will not lube as long
