I don't know if what I need is a called a inside door latch but my doors won't open from the outside and I inspected the inside of the door and found that the latches or rods were missing. I'd like to order these parts ASAP does anybody know what they are called. Also my front door won't unlock without the key including when engaging the unlock switch. Is that the actuator??

What do you mean its missing the rods? Are they laying in the door?

How the hell are those missing??? If it was indeed missing you will instantly notice it as the door handle should have almost zero load to it, after all if you remove the rods there is only the small return spring in the latch.


As for the unlocking mechanism it could be the actuator its a small solenoid..

i believe i checked that when i took off the panels. however i cant recall if they were there or not. i doubt it though. is the name of the part called door rods? i just want to order them and be done with having to open the door from the inside plus i need to put the child lock on my doors before my daughter gets brave and jumps out.

as for the story of how they went missing idk thats how i brought the car now i just want to put it behind me and fix it.

You cant recall if they were there or not? Before ordering parts i would take the panel off again and look. Why waste money and time if that isnt the problem? If one is missing it may have just come unhooked.
