drat! Door..
Went to open the passenger door today and the handle moves but it won't open from outside. What do I need to do/fix? Door panel off tomorrow I think..

I had exactly that. Took it to an indy - pig of a job to get the interior panel off when the door won't open!

Well i fixed it. The problem is that all the door clips broke (!) and there is a small led light that plugs in somewhere but I cannot find where. It must be for the inner door handle. Possibly..

Sorted.......The back of the door handle did have a plug on it although someone has been down this road before.
......The reason the door wouldnt open was due to the pivot behind the latch having a bit of rust on it and sticking in the open position.
