I have a job 1 Sport Trac. Both of my front doors are hard to open from the outside. You have to lift up really high/hard on the handle and even then the door doesn't really unlatch very convincingly. This problem caused me to recently break the driver's door handle, which I have just finished replacing.
I have read about the spring fix but I can't tell if that is for the same problem. My door handles have spring tension and feel fairly normal, they just don't seem to engage the latch mechanism. Does this indicate an issue with the latch mechanism or is the spring fix the thing to do?
The door locks and unlocks fine and opens fine from the inside.
Should I try moving the yellow clips farther down on the rod connected to the door handle?
