[DML] Re: passenger door

["SweatyEddy" <swetyedy@xxxx>]

J,
I had the same problem. What happened was the rods got out of sinc. I had to
pull the top of the door panel off and mess with the rods again. What seemed
to do the trick was disengaging the lock rods while lifting up on the door
handle. It seems the door latch got closed and the lock engaged while the
door was opened so when it was closed it jammed everything shut. Hope this
helps.
