Alright, I picked up an 89 XJ pioneer Cheap b/c you have to either climb in the window or climb over the consol to drive it. I thought it would be a simple fix like a rod come loose or bent or something. However I wrestled the door panel off (hard to do with door shut) and have checked everything and cant seem to get it open with any amount of force. I even pulled the levers which I beleve to be the latching/locking mechanism on the latch itself and nothing. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I cannot seem to get the door open at all. Thanks, Tim

Is the door dented near the handle? If it is try and bend it back in place. Same thing happend to mine after an encounter with a rock.
