I have a 97 GMC CK pickup. I replaced the inner door handle and the outside handle and lock. It opened and closed 2 times and the it would not open. I did not put the panel back on and I removed the steel plate that covers the door. I have pushed and pulled the rods on the door latch, but cannot get the door open. Any ideas?
Thank You
Mike

Doing the repairs on the door. You may have overlooked, and not connected a small rod that activates the lock mechanism, or you have broken the clip that holds the rod in position, doublecheck your work and make sure you oil it.
