[s-cars] 95 S6 door not opening from inside

[Peter Schulz]

Jason:

Pop the cover off the door handle with a thin bladed screw driver.
Remove the two philips screws holding the handle to the door card.
Slide the black trim plate out when your remove the handle.
I think another philips screw secures the inner door latch to the door.
slide the door latch forward and out.

If you don't see the end of the cable, use a coat hanger or something 
similar to fish for it.
There should be a square shaped metal clip that holds the cable 
jacket to the latch.
If it wasn't installed properly ( supposed to capture the cap on the 
cable jacket in a small slot on the latch) , the cable can come loose.
Fish out the cable, re attach the the cable hook to the back of the 
latch, install the square clip properly -
then installation is reverse of removal.

If the clip is missing, you may have to remove the entire door card ( 
and hope that it's still inside the door) to access it.
(the clip is something that I put on my list of things to get when at 
a pick n pull or junkyyard)
