98 Honda civic rear door handle and child safety lock fix

Your rear doors have a child proof safety lock above the lock linkage, there is a turn knob, open the door from the outside and adjust, then the door will open from the inside now.

Child Locks will stop anyone on the inside of the car from opening the door. If the child lock is on then the door can only be opened from the outside of the car. Of course the main door lock must be off just as any door must be unlocked to be opened from the outside.

Now if you do not want the child door lock to be on then you must first open the door from the outside with the main lock open or unlocked. Look at the space that is covered when the door is closed. There you will see the lever that turns the child lock on or off. Simply move it to the off position.

Good Luck.

The door panel on the inside just has snaps around the front, bottom, and back.
The handles also have to be removed.
Then the panel lifts up.

If the child lock is on, it should still open from the outside.
Try pushing in on the door as you attempt to unlatch it, to relieve any tension.
