Hi Guys,
I have a 98 Explorer with power door locks. The driver side door has been giving me some trouble when opening from the inside. The other day I tried to open it at the gas station and the inside handle opened all the way and is now stuck wide open with no resistance. I popped the pin and opened it from the outside but after that it won't open at all. The outside handle has no resistance. I figure I can replace the inside handle pretty cheap but can't figure out how to pull the panel with the door closed. When I reach in and press the button to unlock the door won't unlock to give the outside handle resistance.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
 






Never tried this but you might give it a shot. If not, disconnecting the battery, unbolting, and moving the seat might help.
