thanks in advance, Jim

This same problem arose on my 85 4ks....first make sure the door is
unlocked...
then make sure the trigger on the outside door handle is disengaged {you might
have to pry it free with a kitchen knife or very thin screwdriver} ...go to
the interior of the car and it should open.. you might need to put your
shoulder into it if it has been inoperable for some time.....do the r&r ,make
sure to lubricate.
