Doors cannot be opened from outside

Took mine to the dealer...
Just did it & thanked me for dropping by
(piles of $$$$ in the past)

Do tell them...
You have heard they do some of these SIMPLE things for FREE

(especially at the BMW dealership...
(hey... when you are paying that kind of money...
(I'm just saying))).

2 NEW 90 97 JAGUAR XJ6 XJ12 XJR SOVEREIGN VANDEN PLAS REPLACEMENT UNCUT...

Well i have been thru this problem myself and the only way your ever get it open and to fix the real issue is to remove back seat top and bottom this will give the door panel clearance enough to remove door panel so you can get in side door to open it make surs you fix the pro lem before shutting door again

replace bar linking inside with outside handle undo handle remove square bar inspect both parts replace which ever is worn or broke

remove the door panel and replace the inside door handle dealer part

Broken handle. You can get another from years 89-94. Just be sure to change out the lock cylinder with the one that is broken.

If the doors will open from the outside, but do not open from the inside - the child safety switches are probably activated. Open the rear doors (from the outside) and slide the small levers next to the doors locks (on the edge of the doors) upwards.

need to remove the interior door panels and check all the linkages. One of them is a brittle plastic linkage that is famous for breaking, and bits get caught up in the travel path of the door handle. I had taht issue, and rebult all mine with aftermarket plastic linkages, and the metal parts I pulled from junkyard cars. No way to fix it without removing the interior door panels, but that is thankfully a pretty easy job.

Look in the owners manual. There should be something in there that tells you how to open the fuel door.Good luck.

yes they are interchangible except the front spoiler is different, but everything else is the same. (the front lower spoiler on the 93 has built in fog lamps)
Pretty easy repair and I could only hope his car is the same color....

This is a child safetly feature. There should be a small lever on the inside of the door frame on the door itself. You will have to switch it back in order for the handles to function again.
