My passenger door is stuck shut and is frustrating beyond belief. I shut it, drove home and it wont open again. Got the door panel off inside the truck and everything looks okay. The locks actuate up and down and work as they should. Both handles pull and actuate the thing that pushes down on the release. I tested this on the drivers door. The little thing pushes down but no release of the latch. I've tried pushing it back up and down and it seems a little sticky and the spring will not return it up, but that shouldnt matter. Prying it down more should allow the latch to release but nothing. Ive shouldered it and been in and out a million times. I can access it from the lock home on the outside and from the inside but nothing will happen. See the pics below. Maybe someone can add something to help me get this open. I have spare doors so I can swap out the latch mechanism once I get the door open. But the door must be open to do so. It always worked fine, and now it just will not open no matter what I try!!! Please help, I am so frustrated!!
This first picture is looking in through the key hole. The thing with the red arrow should get pushed down and unlatch the door.
Same thing from this angle in the truck looking in the door. That little tab should get pushed down by the handles being opened and unlatch the door.
If this is incorrect, please tell me what I need to do to unlatch this door!! Thanks for all your help in advance
