1996 Hyundai Elantra. I thought inside driver's

There is inside door handle rod, did you check that the rod is hooked up on both ends for inside handle. Have you taken the door panel off?

I can only make suggestions, I can't see anything from here.

You will need to remove the inside door panel, what that takes I don't know, but it must come off to access the door latch, there you will likely find the latch release control rod has come off or the latch is defective.

remove the interior door trim and you will see small nuts holding the handle onto the outer door skin. Remove any rods /clips and undo the nuts and the handle will come out.

probably not. most inside door handles are push on and held with a spring clip that requires a flat tool that slides between the handle and the plastic washer or the plastic plug in the center of the handle prises out and ther will be a small screw to remove then the handle slips off. Normally the screw has a 8 mm head or a philips screw recess

the wire from the interior handle and the door opening mechanism has come off the clip(its plastic)you will need to remove the interior door panel to fix it (easy job,you can see it )

Remove any and all screws from the door panel, including removing lock and window controls. then take a large flat-tipped screwdriver and pry off the panel all the way around. FInally lift panel up and off the door. Now you will have access to the inside of the door. Everything from here is self explainable.

The door LOCK/UNLOCK actuator is siezed. You'll need to replace it.

inside door handle or linkage is broken ,youll have to take inside door skin off,inspect whats damaged and replace

you need to take the door trim panel off there is a retainer on a rod / check the inside handle / but you need to take off door trim to check to seeif the rod is connected to the latch and handle/ Please rate my response thank you very much
