[s-cars] Can't open driver's back door

[David Forgie]

Before you fire up the "Jaws of Life" or the sawzall, you can try pulling the bowden cable from the inside. To do this you need to remove the door pull (remove cover and then two (+) Phillips screws) and then the chrome door lock handle assembly to which the bowden cable is attached. When you have the cable free of the handle (a clip and a twist), grab the hooked end with vice grips and pull hard. With luck it will open the door.

Bowden cable is Item 28 here: http://12v.org/urs/FrontDoorLockDiag.jpg
