On my 1989 colony park, the driver door handle from the outside, will not open the door. Feels like there's no resistance.
It did not break on me, it was while someone else had the car; so I can't say if I felt anything when it happened first.
What's your gut feeling?
New door handle? I know a buddy's 1990 mustang had the handle itself break; the "tabs" if you will had twisted off. New handle did the trick.
From the outside, I can't tell that it's broken, though.
Alternatively, I know there's a series of rods going to the latches. Bent rod, or fragmented plastic sleeve that let the rod fall out of position?
I won't know till I open the door. But, I can order all the likely parts, then just get 'er done in an afternoon, rather than taking the door apart and leaving it apart for a week while the part comes (or putting it back to gether, and taking it apart again).
What can I say, I'm lazy. Rather have the 2-3 probable parts on hand and install what it is.
Has this happened to you, and what was it?
