So I was testing the hook placement for the closure mechanism. The door closed and the cables that pull the closure mechanism weren't attached correctly. The door would not open with anything. The outside door handle, the inside door handle, nothing. The locking portion would unlock / lock but the actual door closure would not open to allow the door to open.
I ended up having to somehow take the door panel off while siting inside the truck just enough to reach my hand into the section where the closure mechanism was to activate it by hand. It was very stressful for sure.

I am there myself right now.
Daughter had broken the forward (hinged Part) part of the outside handle of the driver's side rear door. It still operated if you pulled the rear part of it out straight. I accidentally pulled on it in an angled manor and the handle broke off completely. I then went inside, tried the inside handle and it would not open either.
So now I'm left with trying to get it open destroying anything.
Any info I have found with an open door.
