The top latch of the 3rd door on my pickup has a broken cable and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to open it? I ordered a new latch but I need to get the door open in order to swap it out.
Grab the upper trim panels off, that exposes the screws for the lower panel. Get those out of the way and you should be able to tug on the upper cable from the handle end and open the door.
Pull the interior trim panels (sure, it can be done with the door shut)
If the cable is completely broken off
Go fishing at the upper latch with a pick tool and open it
Through one of the little holes in the latch
That is how you deal with a malfunctioning child lock that will not open or other latch inop issues
