Question rear door wont open

i have a 1994 s10 blazer 4 door, 4wd. the right rear door will not open using either door handles.
I have made sure the lock is in the open position, but I can not get the door open.


Any Ideas on how to get the door to open.

Seems the door lock pawl is in the lock position. I can push on the door and get some play, back and forth, but I can not get it to open.


Any help would be great. I can get at the hinge pins , but dont know if this will help.

Default rear door won't open

I had to remove the interior door panel. Trip the lock cam and open the door.
I found that the rear lock assembly had cracked and jammed the lock lever.
Removed the interior rods, lock and door open from the lock assembly,and the rod from the outside door handle.
Removed the 3 star screws and removed the lock assembly.
Top of the lock assembly was cracked and the cam attached to it was jamed.
Cleaned all the old grease from lock assembly,bent the top of lock assembly back into position, and JB weld it .

When the weld was dry, 24 hrs. later, I reinstalled the lock, lubed it up with white lithium grease, re attached the rods and link to the assembly and tried out the lock. Ok with remote and ok with interior door handle and outside door handle.

It took 1.30 hrs to remove the interior panel, and 30 minutes to to trip open the lock latch. Long skinney screw driver worked.
