Door won't open from the inside

is it the pull handles or the door latch handles? You might try lubricating the mechanism if it is the latch handles, or quit slamming the door if it is the pull handles.

Since you can get the door open, half the battle is already won. Yes, open the door, pull the interior door panel and take a look around. Watch inside with a flashlight (towards the rear of the door) as you roll the window down to see if you can see what it's snagged on.

theres a clip or a rod on the handle that cud be brokes so u would have to take the door apart to find out

there is a broken spring inside the latch assembally. i dont think it can be replaced but if you remove the door panek from inside you can reach the latch assabally and find the lever that the spring was operating. when you pull up on the lever the door lock will work.. attach a new spring to the lever and to the inside of the bolt that attaches the exterior door handle and you will be back in buisness. had the same problem with my wifes sport trac and fixed around two years ago and sill works fine

typical for ford...lol........outside handle connecting rod needs to be reconnected..u have to remove door panel....then find a hanging rod in door with a attached clip and reattach to outside handle ....

hi deleon,

on your door, if you remove the panel from the inside, you should see a lever connected to the handle that is supposed to disengaged the door hinge opening the door.

your may have this part broken due to corrosion, or there is a possibility that the lock did not disengage leaving the lever connect to the door handle not disengaging the door hinge.

have this checked with a local mechanic or consult the service manual for DIY.

if you have other questions, just lemme know.

My child locks do the same thing, but I dont have problems with the windows. My locks show that they are off, but passengers cannot open the doors from the inside. HOpefully, someone can help us both!

carefully start at bottom of panel & pry away with door open ,but make sure you take any screws out holding on most are in handle area, along with any wire harness connections should be held to door with button rivets (small plastic pressure rings)once all are lose inside panel should lift up off door.

first disconnect the negative side of battery and then open the door and start looking for small black screws or nuts then remove you find some hidden behind what look like little doors that you will need to remove with a screw driver becareful not to pry the plastic completely out of the door panel itself because if this happens you will have to figure out a way to repair so the panel will stay on the door get a thin pry bar to this job or a butter knife

only way to repair is to replace the handles. this is a common problem they use a toothed circle to work the lever and it wears and jumps a tooth basically and it will pop the tooth off if you push it back.so replacement is only fix
