inside or outside door handle? you're not exactly giving the rest of us a lot to go on here.

Do you mean the door won't open, but the handle pulls? Or both won't pull? It's most likely just condensation that froze overnight.

are you sure that the door is unlocked???

Ok sorry it was late lastnight.

 

when it's -15 outside. The outside drivers door handle will move but fails to acuate the door latch. To start the car I have to go in the passanger side and open the drivers door from the inside. I am thinking the grease is gunked up in the latch. What do you guys think?

i had the exact same problem. you need to open the door and take the cover off that goes over the linkage. you need to unclip the linkage and adjust it with the threaded adjustment on the end of the linkage. and walla it works.

Oh... My parents did the same thing to fix the tailgate on their GMC. They should make those things of a more resistant metal.

my passenger side door does the same thing but its too cold/i'm too lazy to give a flying f*k about it...if I ever need to open that door and its not working properly, pushing the door in a little while pulling on the handle does the trick 99% of the time.
