Just replaced door latch/lock assembly on left rear passenger door. Closed door. Now it won't open from either interior or exterior handle. Door lock works correctly. Child lock in OFF position. Checked cable from handle to latch/lock assembly - all is well and connected. Connector rod from exterior handle to latch/lock assembly connected and functioning.

Ideas???:mad:

had similar problem with rear cargo door. Although hte mechanism is not the same in the door, I found that i could not even kick the door open with door handle open. I removed the plastic cover of the latch and inserted screw driver and pulled the cable a little further than needed. The door popped open. Ultimately what I found is that the latch ring was adjusted to be in toaward the vehicle too far. When the bolt would lock around it there was so much tension that the bolt would not release. Once I slid the latch ring our an 1/8 of an inch or so the door worked perfectly. Hope this helps.
