Re: [DML] Can't get door open

["therealdmcvegas" <dmcvegas@xxxxxxx>]

Same exact thing. The bellcrank isn't returning to it's original
position, because of the door latch cable. If you've got the upper
trim panel off, take a look at how the linkage works, and you'll see it.

And if you've got the upper trim panel off, I'd reccomend lubricating
the linkage. White Lithium Grease in a spray can works wonders. Sprays
out like water to get into the hard to reach places (like the cable
housing), but will thicken up into grease within a few seconds.

DMC Joe had written a long time ago that his fix for this was to
disconnect the locking rod from the front latch. And yes, while
that'll work, it doesn't really fix the root issue here. And it's far
simpler to lube, and adjust the one cable, then it is to have to tear
into the rods and mechanisms.
