First I should give a little background info on this problem.
This door had/has a problem with the latch inside the door, it would not stay closed.
Moving the latch "jaws" did not seem to help, the closing problem, and of course I slammed the door too hard once, then it stayed shut.
The window is down and I can see everything on the inside of the door.
Pushed on the door while trying to open it, didn't do anything..
Have the door panel partially open, but cannot remove it because of the last screw behind the dash.
Took the handle off to avoid breaking it,
All of the rods, connected to the latch are in place.
The key turns back & forth ok, the push button on the handle is "in" some.
From the handle button I can push on the rod that would normally open the latch, its very solid and does not move either direction.
The power lock motor moves up & down ok.
Sprayed down the latch.
If I missed any major points please ask.
Any past experiences would be appreciated.
