Ouch. Even though it's expensive, you made the right move. I'm pulling my right side door off tomorrow to replace the cable. Hopefully that's all that's wrong. I have a new cable and handle. Also replacing the speaker. Let us know how yours turns out.

 

Started with the new part, and ended with a working door

 

Was at the tire store recently and saw this:

Just curious what kind of container one finds door jam in, and if it would have cured my latch problem?

 

I remember doing the Door Jam back in the '80s. Gary Numan's music, or maybe Thomas Dolby....

 

Also, always remember to only check pressure when tires are cool. when they're nerdy, they aren't in touch with their inner pressures, and might give false readings.
