[Prelude93_SI]

Alright guys, just a little issue, its starting to annoy me now though, my passenger door for my 92 prelude wont open from the outside, the inside it will but no hope on the outside.Anyone else suffer or used to suffer the same problem and if so how did you fix it?

Just bought it and the previous owner didnt say anything about it, little bastard!!

Cheers

Take the door trim off and spray all the moving parts inside the door that are used by the locking system with WD40. Give the whole locking mechanism a big squirt and any hinge joins in connecting rods that lead up to the outside handle.

The internal and external handles use different rods/joins to operate the lock so the external system is jamming somewhere. With the trim off you should be able to see where.
