Hi I have a 1996 4-Runner, 202,000 miles. A few months ago the passenger side door stopped opening from the outside, it would only open from the inside. Today as I was driving the passenger door flew open, and now it will not close. The power locks kept locking and unlocking by theirself also. How can I fix the lock problem, and closing the door? Thank you!

It is obvious that the door was warped when it flew open. You should take off the inside panel and replace the small plastic clip that allows the iside door handle rod to acuate the loack assembly. A 2 dollar clip can cause a lot of headaches. Good luck
