Replies ScoobyDoo82 Posted at 8:10 pm on Sep. 30, 2008 The linkage might have broke and/or disconnected itself. killabyte Posted at 7:29 pm on Sep. 30, 2008 Quote: from Chevy Jackson at 7:27 pm on Sep. 30, 2008 you might want to take off the interior door panel (which isn't too hard to do, most of them just snap off and back on) and check to make sure the handle is still connected to the latch cable. If it's not, then you need to just hook it back on, and if it's broken then you need to replace it. You can have it done professionally, but expect to pay quite a lot more than you would if you just did it yourself. If you want to see what a working handle looks like on the inside, just take off the panel for the other door and check out the mechanics, and see what's different between the two, and that should help you fix it. this 100% perfect Chevy Jackson Posted at 7:27 pm on Sep. 30, 2008 you might want to take off the interior door panel (which isn't too hard to do, most of them just snap off and back on) and check to make sure the handle is still connected to the latch cable.

If its something not to hard, I can take it to my friends house and he can help me do it. I cant afford to take it to a body shop, and when I do, thats pretty low on my priority list.
