Re: Door Won't Open From Inside

[Daniel Jones <captaudi@ma.ultranet.com>]

The door release cable popped off at the handle,  fairly common on the 92-
chassis cars.  Pull the handle and there should be a phillips screw at an
angle through the housing,  remove this and pull back and out on the assy.
you will see the cable and where it attaches.  If this is attached it may
have popped of at the latch.  remove two more screws at the top outer edges
of the door panel and lift straight up on the panel.  It should slide
straight off.  Follow the cable down to the latch and reconnect to the
curved arm on the latch.
