Out of the blue I can not open the drivers side door from the outside. the inside latch works fine.
What I've done: I pulled the inside panel off and removed the outside latch. This is working properly with no signs of wear. What I have noticed is that with the latch attached and the door open I can simulate the door being closed and the outside latch will work properly. The door latch cam pushes the relase and I can move the door catch from the 12 O'clock position to the 3 O'clock position. So I closed the door and from the inside with my hand i pushed on the release that the door latch cam would normally push to release the door. This took a lot of pressure and the door actually pops open. when I used the inside door latch, the door unlocks and opens smoothly. Any ideas on what is going on here.
