Hey all,
I have a 92 S10 blazer and my outside door handle broke and for a day or two I just left the window down. Now the inner handle will not open the door. I have looked at the mechanism but I cannot see it well enough to make out what is trying to move what to unlatch to door.

Does anyone have a hint or a diagram that will help me manually unlatch it so I can pull the door and replace it? The door has multiple issues and I am in no mood to fix them when I can get a whole door for 50 bucks that doesn't have an elongated hinge pin hole.

 

How much of the exterior handle is broken?
Often you can lift the entire broken handle up at the corner where the rod connects to it inside the door (the side towards rear of vehicle) and that usually will allow the door to unlatch (double check to make sure door is unlocked first, don't mean to imply you haven't checked but just double check)
I myself have done this in the past I was CERTAIN the door was unlocked after fighting swearing and throwing things I stopped and thought about it and sure enough door was locked I must have bumped the button or something stupid without realizing it.

 

The entire handle broke off. The only part left is the base that bolts to the door skin. The door is unlocked, at least by all appearances and sounds it is. The lock rod and interior rod all move freely and fully. It does feel like the door is locked when I try the interior handle but the lock mechanism seems to be functioning fine.

 

If you plan to replace the entire door anyways buy the new door first grab a cutoff wheel/grinder/sawzall and cut the door skin from the outside so you can see the latch mechanism clearly and pop it open that way.
