Cannot open back door of van without using latch from the inside. mechanic saying actuator needs to be replaced. cannot replace without replacing back window
SOURCE: 98 astro van rear door and interior locks, the 20
you may not be abletowithout the door open but if can atleastget the panel away enough to get you'r hand in you should be abe to get ahold of the lock rod
SOURCE: I'm replacing the door handle on my 1999 Chev.
take the door card/trim off and put your hand inside and pull the cable or lift it at the back of the lock, you have not put it back correctly check the small bars are in the correct position. either way you will have to remove the door trim its an easy fix but can take a while depending on any lock covers or motors inside the door.
hope this helps

Once you've removed the door panel, you can see the 2 bolts holding it in place, also, there's a rod that goes to the actuator & that needs to be carefully removed.
The door panel has to be carefully removed by taking any trim pieces off first, remove any retaining screws, then it is carefully removed by inserting tools behind it to pry out on the retainers. Once the few screws are removed and the retainers are popped loose, you have to push upward to get the window edge at the top to clear it's mounting location & then it's removed.
I always recommend a manual with all of the pictures to give you exploded views of what you are taking apart. There are many manuals available at your local auto-parts store to give you specific instructions on removing these components.
You can find these replacement handles on eBay or at the dealer:
