Yesterday after locking it I couldn't open my drivers door either with the outside handle or the interior pull handle. After a lot of head scratching and a bleeding hand I managed to get the door card sufficiently out to free the lock. The linkage from the outside handle to the lock had come undone as the split washer had fallen off, I found in the bottom of the door and replaced it and added a second tighter wavy washer, see photo 1.
However my question is how is the spring in the other photos meant to be located because I found it loose and uncompressed and doing nothing. I put it over the link above but when the internal handle is operated the link just knocks it off eventually. The ROM is not at all clear how this is meant to work,
Any advice will be gratefully received as I don't want to have to keep taking the door card off.
