Rear door latch, super cab. NEW problem???
Hi again guys, I think I may have managed to find a new problem with the latch in the rear doors. I have searched and read and watched youtube 'til the cows come home and cannot find an answer to this one. I have the bottom latch locked closed on my right rear door and tried opening it by pulling (and pushing) on the cable. It seems as though the cable, is attached to the latch as the sleeve doesn't move and I can find it by feeling down there but pulling on the inner cable does nothing to the latch, even doing a three handed door handle pull. I'm sure I can get the latch repaired or cable reattached if only I can get it out, which requires the door to be opened. Any ideas??

Has nobody else ever encountered this before? The latch locked where you cannot open the door? Does anyone know if there is a way to release the latch from inside the door skin, or is it locked there, forever???

Mine sticks often like yours. The door usually releases if while pushing in in the door I open the latch again like normal.
I know it's not much help but that's all I have done to mine at this point.

No, I don't think it is seized. It just quit working right after I got the truck and it feels as though the cable is somehow disconnected. Maybe the end is broken off it? It is still in place and moves in the sleeve but the cable isn't actuating anything. There's no other way to get into the latch to open it, right?
Thanks for the answers.

Yes, thanks, I *did* see it. At 3:25 - 3:35, he pulls the cable and opens the latch. Mine does not do that.

You can open it with a flathead screwdriver through the door in the back. I just did mine the other day. I'll have to do it again tomorrow so I'll take some pics if you're still stuck. (I see this was back in Feb)
