Seems top jaws on my rear lefthand door won't open but bottom jaws do open on my back door of van. Can I repair it myself before taking it to mechanic? Is it a snapped wire?

Still haven't fixed it. Top jaw won't open no matter how hard I lever it and bottom jaws don't close. Lots of stuff pushing against door to be fair but not sure if that makes a difference.

Tske off ply and unscrew internal panels? Gotta be cable or rod

My usual go to would sort it out in an instant but, you would then need a new van...
 
Still haven't got that door to open yet, will take out back panel and try to access panel when I get time.

Also, was broken into luckily at first I thought they went through back door as there's a gap at top where door doesnt line up and of course left side doesn't open anyway. But lster noticed sonething on side door, they just of wedged something in there luckily they didn't take anything.

Cheap way to install extra locks on it?
