Rear O/S Sliding Door Handle Disassembly

[Niknak]

This post most definitely interests me. One of the first jobs I came across on my 2001 Berlingo involved a rear sliding door that wouldn't open. I got it opening normally in the end, but had to disconnect the central locking plunger in the door to do so.

It wasn't really the most pressing of jobs at the time, and taking a look at the geometry, and myriad of connecting rods criss crossing in a limited space put me off. It made my brain hurt! A job to tackle at a later date if I want to be able to fully lock the car.

Dave..

I think my other sliding door has the central locking plunger disconnected, as it doesnt lock with central locking, reckon previous owner has issues like yours... I just lock it from the inside reaching via the front door...
