Back door on wagon won't open, handle doesn't work 700

posted by  someone claiming to be Ursula on  Sat Sep 4 07:18 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I can't get the back door to open using either the inside or outside handle. I have a central locking system so the door locks and unlocks with the others, it's something in the handle (someone told me that a pin probably came loose or apart on the door handle lift). When the front door is open I look back at the door fra,e toward the back door I see that there are only four bolts holding the rear door (if I'm looking at the thing right) and a little plastic thingy between bolts 2 and 3. My real concern is the wiring harness. I have a 86 and I went to the junkyard to look at a similar car (experimenting), but it was a 90-91 and the wiring harness just snapped together there at the bolts on the outside, but mine has rubber boots around the wire at both ends (frame and door) and I'd be afraid to pull on it and expect there to be a snap and there not be. No manuals, no money, no previous experience. How do you access the wire harness for the door and is it a snap inside or (god forbid!) I have to cut the wires in order to have enough leverage to get the door off so I can have someone fix it so it will open
