*94 525 Driver Door won't Latch Closed*

[Sonar5]

Hi all,

I did a search and couldn't find anything on this. Got to my son's football practice and my driver door would not close.

Normally the door catches a latch, and stays closed. It appears the spring or other mechanism is not working.

See attached pics, I already have two big screws out, and door panel off.

All Help is appreciated.

1st Pic. Passenger door showing as if closed latch enabled.



2nd pic driver door, showing latch moves, but does not or will not engage spring clip??


3rd Pic, panel off, layer peeled, showing what looks like two springs resting. This is a pic of area right below lock handle.


NOTE: ALL Lock mechanisms work, when door is held closed to suppress switch on frame where door contacts,

You can see what I am talking about with door open, close latch on door, and then lift handle to release latch.

My handle has no latch to release. I am also not sure how to remove the mechanism. Any pics would help a bit.

Thanks again,
Joe
