IF THE DOOR LOCKS DON'T WORK..YOU NEED TO TROUBLESHOOT IT AND SEE IF IT'S a switch problem and or actuator issue as for what you need to fix your door..how are we to know..you have no pics to show us what is broken..just a statment that says it's broken and you can't open the door[&:]

i deserved that one haha. sorry brain fart.
when i pull up on the door handle it wont engage the latch i think its just worn out.
and when i pulled on it this last time it broke.

i cant reall take a picture b/c the handle is still on there it justwont engage.

if it is worn what bushings or pins or rods do i need?

I had this same problem except mine was jammed. You should probably take the door panel off and see if something is actually broke or not before buying that kit

Its probably a broke door handle. Easy fix. Both mine broke a few months ago. I bought both handles, in steel, from 50resto. perfect fix, arrived at my house in 1 day, and only like 19$ for both handles

i can agree. this kit works great just put them on before christmas. just had to use bolts to install them because i didnt have the rivet gun to do it right.
