Its like the inside door handle and lock aren't connected to anything.

Okay gurus, what do I need to do? Is this a common problem?

Thanks!!

 

gotta get the door panel off some how. sound like maybe one of the rods fell out or the lock rod isnt moving far enough to unlock the door mine has done the same thing.

 

sounds like to me like a great first date jeep

 

i have a buddy that has a wrangler and you can open the door from the outside latch, but if you are inside the jeep you have to roll the window down and that triggers the manual lock and opens the door

 

this has happened to my jeep on the driver side door 3 times now. what i did was take the part where the handle is off. unscrew it. it should only be held on by 3 smalls screws. its a 15 minute job if its like mine. then toy with the rod that goes back to the locking mechanism. it should unlock. then from there the door can open and you can take the door panel off. after that make sure all the rods are connected and not disconnected. let me know if it all works.

 

X2. Im kinda doing the same thing now. Its not that bad unless you have bigger arms. lol Just yes just follow all the rods and see if they fell off.
