Rear door won't open internally..

[Sid Daley]

My daughter was opening the door from inside earlier and the door handle became stuck about halfway out, when I tried to push it back in it required a fair amount of pressure to unstick it. It now appears to not do anything as far as opening the door, but functions normally otherwise ( LOL ) ..

I tried removing the door panel but it seems on really good, are their any tips for removing the panel. The truck is a 1997.

Thanks

Have you checked to make sure the child locks aren't enabled?

Thanks Alec, but that was the first thing I thought of until I seen that the door handle was stuck about halfway between open and closed. Now when I go to use the handle it's still springloaded but doesn't appear to be connected inside the door :-(

Looks like it's another poorly designed part..
