I need to find a way to get my door open!
It is a 2000 XJ Limited 4x4 4.0 AW4 NP242 with power everything.
The backstory:
My front driverside door power lock stopped working a couple days ago, so I pulled the latch assembly out, lubed it, and put it back in. It still was not working, but I did not have time to pull it again.
Fast forward to today, I pulled the latch again and checked the mechanism, then replaced it, and without thinking to check for good operation, I closed the door. It did not open, so I pulled the trim as best as I could from the interior and got access to the rods. Unfortunately, moving them does not seem to do anything.
Is there a way to remove the latch mechanism without destroying my door? There is an Allen head screw that looks to be an adjustment screw, can I somehow adjust it to fully open?
Thanks!
