Hi everyone -- I'm not able to open the driver's side door from the outside. The lock works and the inside door handle works. I've removed the outer handle, inspected it and reattached it, so I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong on that end. I'm hoping the problem is the door latch cable (because that would be cheap!). Has anyone dealt with this before? Any tips before I open it up? Thanks!

One tip is you will need approximately 11 new door clips when putting everything back together. Use a trim removal toolkit like the ones you can find at harbor freight, and be careful not to scratch too much. you'll see the door cable immediately upon removing the door card from the door, check the cable to see if it opens the door.

If not, you may need to remove the window, get inside the door further, and replace the cable going to the outer handle.
