one of my back doors does this (97hondaciviclx) this as well. the other back door will open, but you must pull the outside door handle straight up and pull hard. im concerned that i will eventually break/crack off the handle while doing this. door opens fine when you use interior handle to open it. should i remove door panel to see if cable line is loose? or do you think it has somehting to do w/ the outside door handle? ive made sure that child safety locks on both doors are not engaged-so, this is not reason. ty
