Hi all
My driver side rear door does not open from the outside but does from inside so I presume something has broken in the mechanism.
I've struggled to find an exploded view and parts list for the issue and I plan to take the door panel off tomorrow and take a look.
Has anyone had a similar problem and has any advice or info they can share?
Thanks in advance

If I can remember right some had a plastic hook on inside of handle which can break letting the rod free. or you might be lucky and it’s just popped out , but door card is not hard to remove and you might have to do a bit by feel rather than looking.
remember screws on door close handle when taking card off

Hi, I have this exact issue, did you resolve this in the end? Did you have to replace the whole Actuator/Lock or did you manage to reattached the hook or something with the internal panel off?
