Interior problem
1997 Chevy Cheyenne 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

My door latch used to get stuck sometimes where i would have to pull the handle for it to open and then shut my door with the handle pulled in the open position. now my interior door handle will not open my door at all and i have to roll down the window to open my door from the out side to get out of my truck. how can i fix this problem?

You will need to remove the door panel to get acces to the linkages in the door to see what is wrong.There are plastic clips that sometimes break, allowing the control rods to fall off the handles, causing them not to work.Sometimes the handle just breaks where the rod goes through.
