Hey guys how is it going?
So I recently got my first XJ, its a 1990 2dr 4wd nothing fancy, manual locks and windows. It has 90k on the second engine 240k on the body.
Well my problem is the PO had problems with the door and instead of fixing it he just diconnected the rods so it cannot be opened from inside or out and used the passengers door to get into and out of the XJ. THat was fine for him because he was 5'5 150. however I am 6'4" and 350lbs (Hence HeavyT or Heavy Travis) I have been going in and out the passenger door these first few days however I am not digging this so today I stripped down the door with it closed and now I have access to the interior of the door but cannot find which latch I need to pull. All I want is for the door to open so I have more room to work. I pulled the DS seat so I would have more room I just cannot find out what I need to pull or lift to open the door. I read over the haynes manual and it does not give a clear picture of what I need to move to open the door.
Any suggestions?
In brief:
1990 XJ 2Door
Driver side wont open
NEED help
THanks in advance guys!
