First off, thanks for all the help you guys have given me so far just by reading through the forums. But I have come across at least one problem I haven't seen mentioned here. I went to try and fix my window motor in my 1997 XLT Explorer on my front two doors. When I took apart the drivers motor to clean it, two springs fell out and the brush motors had moved. So if anyone has pictures/diagrams or a website with anything that can help me put it back together I would be very very happy.
Also I didn't research this yet but I figured since I'm posting someone could point me in the right direction. The rear doors will open from the outside and not the inside. I remember reading somewhere that it might be this plastic piece that the handle on the inside is like hinged on or something. And it breaks. But that was when I first got my truck like a year ago, so I dunno. But thanks for any and all help guys!
 






check the back door handles and see if they are broken, or just not getting pulled out enough, do it from inside with the widow open so you can reach out and get the outside handle,
than look on the door by the striker and see if there is a child safety lockout feature,
 






Nah it's not the child locks. I had messed around with those for a while, switching them and checking. The doors open from the outside, and the door handles on the inside move normally, not restricted or moving too far. So I'm assuming it's some kind of mechanism inside the door that has the issue.
