jtcomanche

I’ve had a rough week. I drove the comanche to work yesterday and managed to leave the lights on. Battery was dead by lunch time and needed a jump. My co-worker buddy stopped by to help out. Randomly, he walked over to the passenger door and opened it. Knowing it wasn’t working on Monday, he said, did you fix this? My response... nope. It’s working again like nothing was ever wrong. It was way warmer on the day it wouldn’t open. I’m perplexed. Now I just need to reattach the rod to the inner handle again since it fell off in my attempt to fix it from the inside. Another day.

I got the drivers side released and it seems to open and close fine, though it does seem pretty gunked up with old sticky dirty grease. Any recommendations on what to spray on it to remove it and then relubricate with something better?

Now the driver side is mucked up (locked) trying to see how the mechanism works. Oh joy.

I bumped the lock on the passenger door, now it won’t open. I ripped off the door panel from the interior, knocked the rod off on the handle end in the process. With the panel off, I still can’t find what releases the door near the latch. What am looking (mostly feeling) for?
