Inspect the front latch-to-rear latch control rod. If the rod is positioned as shown in Figure 3, the rear latch has over-traveled and jammed. Use a
screwdriver to pry the latch rod rearward to dislodge the latch rod. A dislodged rod can be identified by the rod being free to move fore and aft by
grasping the rod with your hand. If the rod is not positioned as shown in Figure 3, this bulletin will not correct a door that will not open complaint.
Further diagnosis is required.

Remove the rear door latch attaching screws (Figure 4).
