I have to open the door from the inside latch. I remember the same thing happening to my 95SR but cant remember how I fix it. Anybody fixed this before? Couldn't find anything with a search. 98 Gen 2.5 w/ winter package & 31x10 BFG ATs. Re: 98 gen 2.5 rear door handle fix?

The mechanism gets dusty and does not like to return to the normal position. If the part of the handle that you pull on is loose like when you pull on it there is no spring resistance, you might have the same problem. An open palm strike just above the handle sometimes jarrs it loose. Take the inside door panel off and blow out with air, and then lubricate the mechanism. 99 Gen 2.5, fixing blown head gasket 89 SWB- 33's, ARB Front locker, SR rear locker/axle, SR F brakes, winch, WST Offroad Armor all Around, 2.85 Aussie T-case Gears (SOLD) Sold: (2) 95 SR's, 86 SWB, 90LWB, 91 LWB -Can Change a timing belt in my sleep..

The outside squeese handle isnt depressing the rod enough to unlock the latch. Where do I go from here. Also the outside squeeze handle is free with no resistance. I clean and lubricated the spring. No change. Any needed to take off the outside handle? Or maybe a new spring? Last edited by OneTime; 02/04/11 09:09 PM. 98 Gen 2.5 w/ winter package & 31x10 BFG ATs.

Any apparent loose spots in the linkage? Something is soaking up the motion before it gets to the latch. Not responsible for advice not taken...
