Your 93 Corsica you can open doors from inside but not from outside?

If the door on a 1993 Corsica opens from the inside and not the outside, one issue is likely the problem. The linkage connecting the outside door handle is disconnected or broken. It is also possible that the door lock is faulty.

How do you open the passenger door of a 1995 Nissan 240SX when neither the inside or outside handles work?

Remove the door panel. You should be able to just grab the metal wire inside the door that goes to the door latch. Give it a yank.


Jaguar XJ40 the rear doors will not open from the outside anymore only from inside - how do you fix this?

XJ40 door handles are made out of a very brittle metal that breaks easily. On the inside of the handle is a protruding arm into which is inserted a rod that is pushed down to release the latch when you pull up on the handle. The arm on your door handles is broken. You can buy rear handles on Ebay. Take care to get the proper year. 1988-1990 handles are smaller than 1991-1994 handles. The good news is that the rear handles are interchangable left to right, as they have the little arms at both sides of the handle. Kids and ham-handed buffoons do not mix well with XJ40 door handles.


How do you open stuck rear door on 1995 jeep wrangler?

Depends on why or how it's stuck. I would roll the window down and spray WD40 or similar into the door towards the lock. Let it sit a bit and try working everything a few times, inside lock, inside and outside handles. Try holding some pressure in on the door while opening handle. Lots of times locks just get so dry they will not release. Doubtful both inside and outside rod connections are bad or handles broken. That just leave the lock itself.
