The drivers inside handle broke.
Chevy truck door wont open from inside or outside.
The lock on my door still goes up and down as if it can be locked and unlocked.
You can take a long screw driver of piece of drill rod and manipulate the lever that opens the latch to get the door open and make repairs as needed.
Now it will not open from the inside pulling on the rod behind the panel or from the outside door handle.
Are there any tricks to open the door so i can finish my repair.
It feels as if there is nothing there or no tension on anything.
I am in process of fixing it when the door shut.
The method for this will vary by make and model but start by trying to slide the panel upwards.
However when it is in the unlocked position i still cannot open my drivers door from the inside or the outside.
I have a 1997 chevy 1500 with power windows and door locks.
If it does not move gently insert a screwdriver or small pry bar between the panel and door and gently pry the panel away from the door to determine if there are any retaining clips.
I have also tried using my key in the keyhole on the outside but still nothing.
Remove the door panel.
If you are having trouble because your truck door won t open from the inside or outside there is most likely an issue with rods that hold the lock in place.
