The handle has been glued on cannot her any noise when I try the handle so need advice Please :scratching_chin:Ray
 
Does window drop to allow you to open when you use the handle?.

Had a similar issue with mine, I found 2 connector that fix to the glass that I had pull off by accident when changing wiper motor. Started working when these were reconnect. Just a thought might help. :).
 
Hi Teddywood window goes up and down no problems from the dash board but door still does not open tried key it does not turn in the lock Kind regards Ray
 
then there is a problem with your lock you will have to take the door card off to get at it and this has been done (not by me) from the inside or the micro switch has had it

Sorry dont get that at all.. I usually just force my way in but if it's a bit tight I just lubricate it then keep trying until I am in.

Mine was like this ..tried pressing the tailgate handle in for longer and it unlocked itself after 5 seconds - worth a try.

Could be the microswitch in the handle or the springs that operate it have broke

Search ;)
