Default Door not closing?

Hey guys. Just curious if anyone has come across this problem. When i open my passenger side door from the outside, its fine. but when i open it from the inside, it won't close and just hits and reopens. obviously something is sticking opened, but i took the entire door apart and couldn't figure out what was causing it. any ideas?

I'd try spraying some WD40 in the door lock thing to see if maybe something is sticking in there. Wouldn't hurt to try.

if the wd40 dont work, you will need a locking mechanism. try to open the door from the inside, but try to not to pull the lever all the way out.

if you do pull the lever all the way out, before closing the door from the outside, lift the outside door handle, and then close.

right, thats what i have to do. pull the handle from the outside, and that for the most part, unsticks the locking thing. so Wd40 where now? i think its more internal than external, but i'll go shoot some now.

wd40 wont fix that, you need a new locking mechanism, trust me.
