It was stuck in the locked position.
Silverado door handle sticking.
The handle actually sticks out to.
This has caused me to no be able to close the door and some instances not able to open it up.
Ok my drivers side exterior door handle has become more and more sticky not retracting back to the original position.
You can close the door but it won t open from the inside unless you push it in from the outside.
This is bad thinking it s locked.
This can be fixed by turning the rod that connects to the handle inside the door.
Also i would use something other than wd 40 to lubricate the handle.
I haven t even started ripping it apart.
If your handle is a little bit loose a turn or two in the right direction should fix it.
Any ideas on what to grease or lube.
It s not broken just sticks.
It doesn t do it all the time but 60.
Or better to just go buy a new handle.

One way tightens it and the other loosens it.
