My passenger side back door outside latch is giving up the ghost.
Has anyone had the same problem? When you pull it out, it doesn't grab until the very last 1/8" of latch travel. It feels like something in there is slowly bending over time.
I have not taken the door panel off yet to look.
Does anyone have a diagram of the door latch mecahnism in there so I have something to compare it too?

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks!

DM,

Thanks for that, but that sounds like the front door. The quad cab window doesn't move up or down, it opens from the side and pops out on the trailing edge of the door.
I didn't think there was any electrical in the quad cab door.

Thanks!
