Ok, i searched all the door not opening threads and either everyones doesnt open from the outside or doesnt open from both the inside or outside.
i have the exact opposite problem and i can't find it on the forums.
my passenger door opens fine from the outside, the window goes up and down very smooth without hitting anything.
but i cant open the door from the inside.
i havent opend it yet because i live in dc and i have to take it to a friends place before i take it apart. just wondering if anyone has seen this and if i need to get any parts from the stealership before i open her up.
thanks

Actually I think the plastic clip problem usually makes the door not open from outside. The inside handle connects directly to the door actuator by a cable. It might be disconnected at the inside door handle or the cable might be broken (unlikely) or the actuator might have an internal problem. You will have to pull the interior door panel to investigate.
Good luck,
Good luck,

thanks, yeah i know about the clip and i saw your post many times, but thats only for outside problem.
i assumed the inside was a more solid cable from the pictures.
i am hoping it is just disconnected because the actuator does not sound too friendly. im wondering if there is 2 actuators, because if it opens from the outside it would be a sign the actuator works, unless theres a seperate one from the inside. my nissan was not this complicated.

Not going to argue w/OLT but the door lock actuator has 4 mechanical connections: 2 levers on the top which each connect by a plastic clip to the outside door handle and the outside lock cylinder; there are two mechanical cables (like a bicycle brake cable) each connect to the interior door release handle and interior lock lever respectively.
If you can't open door from inside, you have a problem with the interior cable's connection to interior door handle, a broken cable , or a problem inside the door/lock actuator. I don't think the actuator is repairable inside, but they are available used (aliga). I did mine about a month ago, it took 1 1/2 hours.
Again, good luck.

IF THE ROD THAT SLIDES INTO THE CLIP IS BROKEN, YOU CAN CONTACT ME THROUGH EMAIL IF YOU WANT THE ROD FIXED. THE DEALER WANTS AROUND $275.00 FOR THE DOOR LATCH. GOOD LUCK AND LETS JUST HOPE IS ONLY THE CLIP

thanks for the help. im gonna go ahead and grab the clip before i open the door up seeing as its only 10 bucks. i hope the clip is the same for the inside and outside rods. im sure i can probably make it fit somehow.
thanks for the help.
ill let u know if i need an actuator Aliga, and also let me know if you have the cupholder that's between the console and the shifter, the flip up one.
ill take tan or black, but black would be easier.
