Re: Issues opening driver door

It might be the inside door handle actuator (behind the handle and door panel) that pulls the rod that connects to the door latch assembly. I have seen GM actuators wear within the assembly itself causing less travel of the actuating rod to the latch.

Simply removing the handle and door panel, you would be able to see if it indeed worn as mentioned. A few drops of oil should at least help...

I would imagine if it is worn as mentioned, you should feel the binding right behind the handle and a rough feeling at the pivot when lifting the handle from the inside.
