The other day my drivers side interior door handle stopped opening the door. i just finished taking off the door panel assuming it was a broke handle and low and behold the handle is in perfect condition. the cable is moving freely and i can hear it making noise by the actual door latch when i pull it. Im at a loss for whats keeping the door from opening now. anyone have any ideas?

Might look at this thread to give you some confidence in taking the next step in either replacing the door latch or trying to repair:

I would not expect the remedy to be the same as in the thread above.

Hey "zalock" - You get yours fixed?
I have a 2009 & mine stopped working about 2 weeks ago. I did a lookup and saw the info about broken door handles, etc. Bought the kit ($99.95) opened the side panel, surprise! handle isn't broken, working as it should. Followed the cable to the latch, it's not broke either. Seems to be a latch issue?
Got any ideas? The whole linked piece about seems like something else. Almost seems like the cable stretched.

Thanks
Bob
