[DML]Door latch adjustment

[njp548@xxxx]

Hey List,

I've been having a problem with the linkage adjustment on my passenger 
door. One of the problems was that when opening the door, the rear latch 
would unlatch first. I think I did get that fixed the other day, but for 
some reason when opening with the outside handle, it doesn't open the door 
until the handle is at the highest part of its travel, unlike my drivers door 
which opens once I lift up on the handle. When I was trying to adjust the 
linkage for the external cable, I ran into a problem with the front latch and 
it being pre-loaded and when trying to lock the door then unlocking the door, 
the pre-load on the front latch would make it stuck in the lock position. 
The only way I could fix that problem was to disconnect the front latch 
release link from the bellcrank assembly and to readjust the external cable. 
I think what I am going to have to do in order to fix this correctly is to 
take all the rods off of the bellcrank assembly for the door locks, and then 
try to adjust the door opening linkage and then re-adjust the door lock 
linkage. Anyone else have any ideas what I could do before I do this? Any 
help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Later,
Nick Pitello
